Newtown Families Sought To Host

German Exchange Students

Academic Year in America (AYA) is looking for Newtown families to play host to Germany.

This year, AYA is bringing hundreds of German high school students to the United States to learn about American culture while living with volunteer host families and studying at high schools across the nation. Families will have a unique opportunity to learn about German culture during the exchange.

To learn more about hosting a German exchange student with AYA, contact local coordinator Claire Souffrant at 203-274-5046 or clairewesth@yahoo.com.

AYA can help families find the ideal student for their home. Students are between ages 15 and 18 and arrive with full medical insurance, spending money, and the hopes of experiencing life in America through the eyes of a caring host family. The students stay with the host family for five or ten months and attend the local high school.
