What kind of people will my host family be?
Terra Lingua USA host families are volunteers who are warm and caring people who gladly open their homes and hearts to students. They wish to learn more about foreign cultures and to share their family and lifestyle with their new son or daughter. As a member of the family, you will participate in all family activities including mealtimes, and assume the same responsibilities and family rules as your host siblings.
What kind of school will I attend?
You will attend a school near your new home and there are of course, variations by states. You will be expected to attend all classes, follow school rules, complete your homework and maintain a minimum grade of C in every class. Because of the language barrier your first month or two may be most difficult. But you should never hesitate to ask for help from your teachers and host family. Your stay in the program depends on your academic success.
What are the eligibility requirements?
- Student must be between the ages of 15 and 18

What kind of support network is available?
