Vienna IL School Seeking Host Families For Foreign Exchange Students This School Year

Vienna students, families and the community have played host to numerous exchange students over the years. In order for this to continue the school is seeking host families for this school year.

“This program is good not only for the foreign exchange students to experience America, but also for Vienna students to make connections across the globe,” said Joshua Stafford, Vienna superintendent. Most recently, exchange student Mark Sharovarov from Ukraine was able to graduate from Vienna High School and transfer to Murray State University to continue his education.

If you are interested in hosting an exchange student or if you have any questions about the program, feel free to contact Vienna High School at info@viennahs.com, by going to www.pax.org or PAX coordinator Lisa Thomas at thomaslisam@gmail.com.

Currently there are numerous available students still looking for a home-away-from-home as they seek to broaden their horizons by spending a year studying in the U.S. Families interested in hosting can scroll through students by going to www.pax.org and then scrolling down to “Meet Students” to find a student that would best fit in their family. Once a family finds a student who they may be interested in, clicking on the student will give more details about that particular student.
