Host Family Information
Hosting a student or teacher from China is a rewarding and culturally rich experience.  During the 6 weeks that the Chinese students and teacher reside in Dover or Sherborn, they are expected to become part of your family, learning about life in an American home.  During their stay they are expected to live according to the rules in your home and to participate in family activities.  In addition to family outings and activities, the China Exchange program will also arrange many opportunities for them to engage in enrichment activities at the High School and in the Boston area.  While in the States, the cost of room and board  and any special family activities is covered by the host family.  The student is responsible for his/her own spending money for personal items.  The family is also responsible for providing transportation to and from school and to drop off points for organized activities.  

If you have further questions about hosting, please contact Rebecca Vizulis at vizulisr@doversherborn.org.  If you are interested in applying, please fill out the Host Family Application and email it as an attachment to the same address.  

Thank you for your interest in the program.
