Host an International Student This Summer!
Eastern Point Day School, situated above Niles Beach on Gloucester’s Back Shore, will once again host summer school for international students. These students range in age from 8 to 14 and are primarily from Spain.
The program runs from June 26th to July 24th.
We are looking for families in the Cape Ann area who would enjoy the adventure and cultural experience of hosting one of these children. The students attend camp at Eastern Point Day School from 9 AM to 4 PM Monday through Friday with lunch is included. The host family will need to provide transportation to and from camp. The rest of the time is “family time” where you share your daily routine and, if you choose, any excursions showing what beautiful Cape Ann and New England have to offer. In addition to experiencing the fun and fulfillment that comes from hosting an international student, you will receive a $500 stipend per child.
Eastern Point Day School also offers a Summer Adventures program for children entering grades K through 8. The program runs for 4 weeks with weekly themes offering a variety of experiences for children. These children will also enjoy the opportunity to spend part of their day with the international students. For those families hosting an international student, a 25% discount off of the Summer Adventures program cost is offered. Please visit www.easternpointdayschool.org for details.
If you love sharing your home and enriching your family’s world, please consider becoming a host family. The children and parents of families who have hosted over the past summers always look forward to another summer of making new memories and friends. For those interested, please contact our coordinator, Barbara Baumer at 617-413-8592 or via email at bbbaumer@mac.com. She will be happy to answer any questions and provide further details about hosting an international student.
