Host families are needed for the New Brunswick International Student Program.
Homestay coordinators try to find the best match for students from all over the world based on their hobbies and academic interests.
Students are testing on their proficiency with English and support is available if needed.
Debbie Thomas is the program administrator for southern New Brunswick.
She said international students come from countries all over the world and get placed in high schools from Sussex to St. Stephen.
“We cover a lot of area. I think that we do a pretty good job of matching the interests of the students with the homestays that are available,” Thomas said.
