New Regulations

The State Department has issued new rules and regulations surrounding the placement process of exchange students. The changes are for the safety of the students.

Host families are being asked to provide additional information and proof that a coordinator had visited them, interviewed them and inspected the home.

We also will not be allowed to provide full student profiles with names and photos until the host family has been approved.

You can see the full document with the changes here.

The safety and well being of our students are one of our top priorities. I hope you will join us in supporting the State Department in these changes.
