MJCA is blessed to host international students each year. These students are an asset to our school community and give our students an opportunity to learn about other cultures.
When an international student comes to MJCA, he or she stays with a host family. Host families make a commitment for two semesters.
Having a new family member who shares your family's interests is fun! International students are eager to become a true member of their new family, school and community. Each student has a lot to offer. Many host families become lifelong friends with their international students.
When you host an international student he or she becomes part of the family. As a member of the family, the student is expected to follow the family rules, participate in family activities and contribute to the home environment. The host family is given a monthly compensation for providing room and board (including regular meals). The family is not obligated to cook special meals for the student, but we ask the family to encourage the student to cook dishes from his or her home country.
Contact Shawna Shoemaker if you are interested in hosting an international student. She may be reached by phone at 615-824-1550 or through e-mail at sshoemaker@mjca.org.
