Consider hosting one of Hopkinton High School's international students for the next school year or for a semester. Students from Brazil, Italy, China, Norway and Sweden have been accepted. Host families find their lives enriched sometimes in surprising ways and some have made life long friends.
Support HHS: By hosting you'll also be contributing to our school and community. For example in addition to cultural understanding and friendship, tuition fees from international students support our Mandarin language program at Hopkinton High School.
Stipend: To help defray expenses incurred while hosting an international student, a $700/mo. stipend is provided to each hosting family.
Inquiries: If you're interested, please contact Ann Northup, the international coordinator:

Ann will be happy to explain the program, the application process and provide referrals. If there is sufficient interest, an informational meeting with currant host parents will be held. This program is sponsored by Educatius International, a non-profit international educational organization which, among other projects, connects international high school students with American secondary schools, colleges and families. www.educatius.org.
