4. Looking for Host Families

We are now in the process of looking for new host families for the 2025-2026 school year. Students come from a variety of countries, and they are placed with a caring, English-speaking, Christian family. Students may stay for a few months up to a year.

If hosting one or more of these students interests you and your family, please email Karen Bowering, International Program and Homestay Program Coordinator at: for more information about the Homestay program.

The next hot lunch will be Boston Pizza on Thursday, February 20.

The deadline to order is this Thursday, February 13.

Please place orders for hot lunches on Munch a Lunch. Purchase altogether or week by week.
