Check out our subpage "contacts" to find our emails, our intern's info and the 2nd grade directory.

In need of host families:

Our Amity interns are a huge part of our school. Thanks to them, teachers in grades 2-5 can differentiate their instruction and students can experience more French speaking.

We could not do this program without host families who agree to host them for about 3 months.

There is always a need for more families.

The requirements are:

-       Transporting the intern to and from school,

-       Offering her own room,

-       Offering 3 meals a day

The host families don’t have to be part of our Charlemagne community. So tell friends, neighbors, family members.

If you have an interest in hosting, please reach out to our host family coordinator, Rachel Buciarski (Charlemagne parent) at rachel@buciarski.com.
