Loving Homes Needed for Foreign School Exchange Students for 2021-2022

Each year, lucky international high school students come to Montana to live their ‘American Dreams’ while attending local high schools. These brave students ages 15-18 are currently embarking on a global adventure with the support of their local host families. They have celebrated many special American holidays and traditions, joined high school sports and activities, made friends with fellow classmates and bonded with their host families. ICES hopes to offer this special opportunity to many more exchange students for the upcoming school year. We need SW Montana families to open their homes and hearts!

  “Being an exchange student completely changed my life. Meeting new people that are born and raised in a completely different situation from mine made me appreciate more my country and the little things that make everyone different. I remember that when I just got here my host family did with me a lot of outdoor activities to let me enjoy more Montana. I loved that.”
