This fall a female high school exchange student from Columbia (age 17) will spend a full academic year at MUHS. This is being sponsored by the Middlebury Rotary Club and she is in need of host families to stay with. It is preferred, but not necessary, that the home has children approximately the same age or at least of school age. Students generally stay with a host family for approximately 4 months although some, including our current inbound student from Brazil, stay with a family for the entire school year.

This is a very enriching experience for both student and host parent/family. In order to continue the registration process for school as well as obtaining her travel visa a host family must first be identified. If you are interested or would simply like more information please contact Bill "Buzz" Kernan via phone at (802) 279-1315 or by email at kernan.william@yahoo.com
