Having an exchange student in your home is incredibly special. You will get to know a new person who will very quickly feel like a member of the family. You will have the chance to present your town, culture and language in a way that you never have before.<\/p>\n\n

Read stories from other families about their experiences as a host family, and from our students about what it\u2019s like to stay with a host family.<\/p>\n\n

Do you want to share about your journey as a host family?<\/h2>\n\n

Would you like to share your experiences as a host family in our channels? Send an email to social.media@sts-education.com<\/a> and maybe you and your family will appear in our channels next time.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":20,"featured_media":0,"parent":9162,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"sts_page_background_color":"","footnotes":""},"wpw_page_folders":[528],"class_list":["post-10793","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nFamily
