Interested in Germany?

Bring a world of culture to your family

and watch a common interest become a shared bond.

Castles, bratwurst, and Oktoberfest are just the tip of the iceberg of the rich, fascinating culture and history of beautiful Germany!  Learn more about this enchanting country by welcoming a German exchange student into your family. We'll help you find the right student for your family to have a fun and enriching experience. 

Here's how hosting works:

• The student lives as a member of your family (not a guest or boarder), participates in family life, and attends the local high school
• Students come with medical insurance and spending money to cover personal expenses like school fees, phone, clothing, etc.
• Host families provide room & board and loving parental guidance (and are eligible for a tax deduction)
• A Local Coordinator will provide support and assistance to you and your student throughout the hosting experience
• YOU select the student you want to host.  We will gladly help you find a student, or you can visit Meet Our Students to browse or search for students by country, age, gender, religion, or interests.
