He or she must try out just like an American. After a family expresses interest, an ISE Representative meets the family, checks the references and helps the family select the student. If the school allows foreign students to attend, an ISE representative will secure school permission and help enroll the student. ISE has a network of Area Representatives who are there to help the students. ISE requires that a Representative check with the student at least once a month.
All students have health insurance.
After a family is found, ISE notifies the sending International Representative. Then, the information is passed along to the student. Either the Host Family or the Area Representative will meet the student at the final destination airport. We do not encourage this. If a family wishes to come, we recommend coming at the end of the program.
