Thornton Academy’s Homestay Program is looking for Homestay Families for the 2025-2026 school year. This program was started in 2010 and has been a fulfilling opportunity to both host families and their international students. This program has given international students a chance to fully immerse themselves in American life, learn about American values and customs and
really hone their English language skills. For families, it’s an ideal way to gain an in-depth understanding of the world outside our borders, since students will be eager to talk about their home countries, family traditions and cultures. A Homestay experience will allow students and families to make personal connections and build life-long friendships. Families can rest assured
that they will have the ongoing support from Thornton Academy throughout their time as Homestay Families.
If you would like to host one of Thornton Academy’s Homestay Students or to learn more information about the Homestay Program, please contact Homestay Coordinator, Sara Demers, at 282-3361 ext 4557 or by email at sara.demers@thorntonacademy.org
Below is a picture of Mr. Pasquarello and his family with their host students, Sally and Riko.
