Foster Friendship, Faith, and Global Understanding from home

Roseville, Calif. – An unforgettable cultural exchange opportunity is coming to the Roseville area, and two local families have the chance to be a part of it. Organizers are currently seeking host families for two male high school students from South Korea who will be attending Valley Christian Academy in Roseville for the 2025-2026 school year.

Host families will receive a monthly stipend to help cover expenses, but the true reward is far greater. Hosting an international student is an enriching experience that fosters lifelong friendships, cultural understanding, and a sense of global connection, all from the comfort of your own home.

“It’s truly the opportunity of a lifetime-for both the students and the families who open their hearts and homes,”

Lisa Montgomery, Educatius

Who Can Host?

Anyone with a welcoming heart and a spare room can apply:

  • Retirees
  • Empty nesters
  • Single parents
  • Couples with or without children

There’s no “perfect family” model-just a willingness to embrace a new culture and provide a supportive home environment for a student eager to experience American life and education.

Why Valley Christian Academy?

Valley Christian Academy offers a strong academic foundation in a faith-based environment, making it an ideal setting for international students to thrive both educationally and personally.
