As many of you know our school district invites international students to attend
Hopkinton High School each school year. This exciting initiative is part of the school
district's efforts to expand its global education program. For the past years, these
dynamic international students have engaged our community and formed relationship
that go well beyond our school building.
To make this program a success, we need local host families starting in September
2022 and we have two students seeking host families now. Welcoming an international
student into your home is like gaining a son or daughter! The relationship you build with
your student can last a lifetime as you become their “home away from home.” It’s hard
to teach children important life lessons such as acceptance, tolerance and the power of
diversity. Hosting an international student is a great way to fill your home with joy and
laughter while realizing that what makes us different can also bring us together.
To attract host families, we are working with Educatius Group, our corporate partner on
this program. Educatius encourages all families to apply to become a host family –
families with young children, no children, and/or high school age children.
To ensure that this initiative is a success, Educatius provides the following resources:
1. A generous monthly stipend paid to all host families
2. An orientation program for the international students and host families
3. Host family and student support, available twenty-four hours a day
Our International Students:
1. Are fully insured
2. Are between ages 14 – 18
3. Have their own spending money
4. Speak English
5. Maintain strong GPA
To meet our goals, we now need your help. If you are interested in providing a culturally
enriching experience for your family, our international guests, and the students at
Hopkinton, please contact Vicky.kan@educatius.org or call/text 617-970-1999.
