Spanish Exchange Program seeks host families and students
June 6th, 2022
Welcome to the 2022- 2023 Pinkerton Academy ~ Askartza Claret Exchange Program!
This September 2022 we will have students from the Askartza Claret High School in Leioa, Spain staying with us!
In June 2023 We will travel to Spain, visit their school, and spend a long weekend in Madrid!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
WE NEED HOST FAMILIES!
Host a student and live the language and culture!
This group of high school students from Northern Spain will attend classes at Pinkerton as well as go on various cultural excursions throughout our beautiful states of New Hampshire, Maine, and Massachusetts. They will be busy Monday through Friday. Evenings and weekends will be spent with you, the host family.
Participating students are between the ages of 14 and 17 and attend Colegio Askartza Claret, near Bilbao, Spain. Our program directors here at Pinkerton will organize their excursions and, on occasion, Pinkerton students may accompany them on a day excursion.
All students are carefully screened and must be recommended by teachers and the principal at their school before they are accepted into the program. Only those students who demonstrate academic achievement, curiosity, adaptability, and a good command of the English language are accepted. The exchange students will also have complete medical insurance coverage for the entire duration of their stay in the United States and will bring their own spending money.
The key to a successful exchange experience is a family relationship. The student will look to the host family for guidance and understanding. Treat your student as you would your own son or daughter. Family responsibilities and privileges should be the same for them as for your own children. Please remember that your student is not a guest, but rather a family member!
Should any emergency or difficulty arise during the stay, Pinkerton Program Coordinators and two teachers from Spain will be on hand to assist you. Because this is an exchange, Pinkerton students will also have the opportunity to visit Spain in June of 2023.
