INTERNATIONAL STUDENT PROGRAM

---

HOST FAMILIES WANTED. The Greater Saskatoon Catholic Schools operates an international program in several schools throughout our system. This program brings the world to our students. It helps them to see differing world views and promotes understanding, peace, and harmony. Our students are able to form world-wide friendships and networking opportunities in the future. Students come from various countries. Their placement is primarily high school with some students in upper elementary. The students are here to study for one or more semesters. A fundamental cornerstone of the international program is the homestay experience. It is an integral part of the program because of the sharing of culture, family, and language. English language acquisition is the primary goal of the students who come here. The program has proven to be a highly positive experience for families. International parents are looking for a warm family environment for their children. We need host families in all areas of the city. Hosting a student is an exciting cultural exchange. The student reimburses the family a month $700.00. Most homestay hosts find this a rewarding and enriching experience for their families. If you are interested in experiencing a different culture by hosting a student please call our office at 659-7688. Additional information can be found in our homestay guide which is available at www.gscs.sk.ca/international.
