Our students are between 15 to 18 years old, come from over 50 different nations, get good grades, speak English, and want to come to America to get to know us better. Most are athletes. Many are musicians. Their application process is fairly arduous and many are not accepted. They come with insurance and with a minimum of $300 a month spending money to cover expenses beyond the room, board and reasonable transportation expected to be provided by the volunteer host family. Most will attend the public high school for which the host family is zoned, though we do have some with extra money for private schools.
As a host family, you would fill out a host family application which is nine pages long, but no more difficult than the pages of a second or third grade spelling workbook. The application includes pictures, an introductory letter, and an outline of family rules and expectations. The original of this application ultimately ends up in the hands of your chosen exchange student and his or her family. This becomes their introduction to you, and from that point you can communicate prior to your student's arrival, and thus build a foundation for your relationship before (hopefully long before) the student arrives. This is your chance to let them know if they should bring their riding boots, ballet slippers, a winter coat or their favorite cooking spices that might not be available here.
You do not need to have a high school age student already in your home. You do not even need to have other children in your home. Some of our students are very good with little ones and will even enjoy being in a family with small children. If you are concerned that one high schooler would be lonely or bored in your home, we will happily place two of the same gender but different native tongues in your home. They can even share a room.
Host families and students will have the support of a local ISE area representative to provide advice, orientation, and back-up throughout the school year. There is a Regional Advisor here in the Nashville area, a superb Regional Manager in Raleigh, and then the main offices are full of wonderful people in New York. You will enjoy getting to know some of these people as well as your exchange student, his or her family, other students and host families in the area.
I like my job because of all the fun, interesting and intelligent people with whom I get to work.

West Precinct detectives believe an old pickup truck may hold the key to solving the January 18th murder of James Edward Shearon and are asking for the public’s assistance in locating it.
Shearon, 61, and his wife were asleep in their 1210 Watts Terrace home in the early morning hours of January 18th when they heard a person or persons kick open their back door. Shearon went to investigate and was fatally shot in the kitchen.
The pickup truck was seen in the neighborhood of the shooting and appeared out of place. It is a 1960s or 1970s model, possibly a Ford, and was primer gray as if it were in the process of being restored. The truck had 20”-22” chrome “spinner” wheels. It was seen occupied by two men, one white and one black.
Anyone with information on this pickup truck, or the murder of James Shearon, is urged to contact West Precinct Detective Brad Putnam at 862-7389 or Crime Stoppers at 74-CRIME.
We will be getting profiles of up to 60 high school exchange students (20 so far) to place in Tennessee for the 2008-09 school year. These students come from over 50 nations, icluding such diverse places as Vietnam and Brazil, and from a variety of backgrounds and interests. Many are athletes, cooks, musicians, etc. All are good students.
We need your help to bring them here. The later it gets the more difficult it is to find schools with available room for them. All public schools and some private schools have a limit (usually 5, sometimes less) to the number of exchange students they can accept. Also, if you start the process now, you will have more time of direct corespondence to pave the way before your student arrives.
Please e-mail the above address and/or ("and" is best) call Pamela at
615/568-8556
if you are interested in participating in this exciting and unifying program.

By the time I was a senior in high school the adopted kids were getting in fairly regular trouble with the law (except for the youngest girl whose behavior was by far the worst of the three, but she never got caught). My dad was on the local (small town in the northwest) Planning and Zoning Commission at the time and our private family business was public gossip fodder. My parents did everything they could to try to teach these kids right from wrong; the kids continually made poor decisions, and blamed my parents. My youngest sister was later diagnosed with Narcissistic Personality Disorder, but her subtly hateful tendencies were already needling away at the very heart of several members of the family, maybe even all of us. There was A LOT of stress in the home.
One day an announcement was made from the pulpit that there was a 17 year old female exchange student from Japan who was a member of our church and was requesting a host family from within the congregation for her senior year in high school here. Three families stepped forward. We had a piano (a necessity since her parents required that she practice three hours a day), a spare bed, and a girl her age (me) so we got her.
I'm sure people must have thought my parents were NUTS to bring one more kid into the house at a time when there was already so much stress. I don't think any of us contributed much by way of chores and my mother is still a devout from-scratch cook, even to the point of grinding her own wheat for bread, making noodles, keeping a formidable organic garden...
SO into this whirlwind comes Mari, with her perpetually steaming sticky-rice pot, her poor English skills, her odd habit of eating Walla-Walla sweet onions whole and adorned in nothing but Kikkoman... and her three hours a day of Chopin... and her quiet, peaceful demeanor. Mari brought a sense of peace and healing into our home. She brought us through a very troubled time, and my mother to this day will sometimes wistfully say, "I miss Mari" especially when she hears Chopin's piano music.
Now, I will admit that not all exchange student experiences are that out-of-this-world, fabulously, enrichingly, Wonderful. Certainly ALL are learning experiences for all involved. Only one in ten are problematic enough that the kid has to be moved to a new home or, more rarely still, sent packing back to where they came from (I haven't seen it happen yet, but I'm only going into my second year.) MOST are good experiences for the whole family where everyone learns a bit about another culture, picks up at least a bit of another language, and makes international friendships that will last a lifetime.
By the way, all of my siblings, except for the narcissistic one, have grown into responsible, hardworking, honest adults and terrific parents. Mari got a full-ride piano scholarship, extended her visa, married a red-headed dairy farmer from Oregon and has two, now adult, daughters. Her parents and some of her siblings have also emigrated to the US.
I encourage people to prayerfully consider hosting an exchange student, and prayerfully consider which student they choose. I believe that this program will enrich the lives of all involved, indeed, at it's best, IT HAS THE POWER TO TURN THE COURSE OF THE WORLD through the friendships that are developed and the experiences learned HERE by children who well may become the leaders of tomorrow in nations like Serbia, Vietnam, China, Venezuela and more than 50 others.
Is it the economy? I mean, if you've been thinking about hosting but have not made a move toward applying, what is holding you back? I really want to know. If I know what the problem is, then maybe I can address it, but right now I'm in the dark, and I'm worried.
