There are several wonderful international students who would love to study in Nebraska this fall - but they need to find a family who can host them.
Exchange organizations are really trying to make Nebraska stand out as an opportunity for foreign exchange students. Away from their families, in large cities they might fall in with other folks who speak their own language. In Nebraska, exchange students are forced to really immerse themselves in American culture.
Having more international students in our schools helps our own Nebraskan students as well, exposing our kids to more and varied cultures than they would otherwise be around. It's an important part of a young person's education.
If you are interested in hosting an exchange student, please contact the Bancroft-Rosalie school office and we can put you in touch with the appropriate person.
