BARLING SCHOOLSPANISH EXCHANGE STUDENT PROGRAM
Host a Spanish Exchange Student
Barling School, a respected organization that has coordinated international student immersion programs since 1980, is seeking welcoming host families for high school students visiting from Spain.
These students travel to the United States to experience American culture, language, and daily life while improving their English skills through a cultural exchange experience.
Hosting a student can be a very rewarding experience for your family. It provides a unique opportunity to learn about another culture, create meaningful international friendships, and give a young student the chance to experience life in the United States in a supportive family environment.
Many families find that hosting a student enriches their home with new perspectives, cultural traditions, and lasting connections.
We are currently looking for families who are interested in welcoming a Spanish student into their home and helping them feel comfortable during their stay.
Hosting a student can also be a wonderful learning experience for children in the household, as they have the opportunity to practice language skills, learn about another culture, and build global awareness.
If your family is interested in becoming a host family, we would love to hear from you.
Please contact us by sending an email to:
