Thornton Academy’s Homestay Program is looking for new Homestay families! Our program offers an alternative to dormitory living in which international students are placed with local families. These students are seeking language and cultural immersion as well as a nurturing and comfortable home environment. In turn, families can look forward to sharing their homes with young teens who are ready for brand new adventures and excited to talk about their own traditions and home life. It’s a year of discovery for the student, as well as for the Homestay family. If this is something that interests your family, please contact our Homestay Coordinator, Sara Demers for more information. sara.demers@thorntonacademy.org
