This year will be the 20 th Anniversary of AISE's exchange program and as more and more overseas students hear of the AISE program, AISE is committed to finding more and more caring families. Students arrive in August to live with their American host families and attend the local high school for the 2001-2002 school year. These eager young students, between 15 and 18 years of age, are coming to the United States to learn about America and the American way of life while sharing their culture with their host families, friends and schools. Students speak English, have their own spending money, medical insurance and are excited about becoming a part of an American family. Prospective host families are interviewed by an AISE Program Representative and assisted with the selection of their student.
Host families provide housing, food and a family atmosphere for the student.
