ASSE International Student Exchange Programs (ASSE) is currently seeking local families interested in hosting a high school foreign exchange student for the 2010/2011school year. We are a non-profit, volunteer based exchange organization. The students are between 15 and 18 years old, bright and well behaved. Each student is very anxious to learn about our country by living as part of an American family and attending the local high school. They consider it an honor to live here. Students come from Germany, Italy, China, France, Denmark, Thailand, Portugal, Korea, Japan, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, the Czech Republic and countries from the former Soviet Union. The students are carefully screened in their home countries. Interested families have the opportunity to select the student of their choice from extensive student applications, family photos and biographical essays. The students arrive from their home country shortly before school begins and return at the end of the school year. They speak English well. Each ASSE exchange student is fully insured, brings his or her personal spending money, and shares in the household responsibilities. If you are interested in sharing in this wonderful opportunity as a host family please call the local area rep Gordon Wayman 217-494-6588 or 800-736-1760 or visit our website at www.asse.com.
