Willing to host an exchange student?

Each year our sister school, ISA, is proud to welcome international exchange students into our community. This year, they have welcomed students from Russia, Spain, and Italy. Alessandro is a 17 year old student visiting the United States from Italy this year. Alessandro is really enjoying his experience at ISA, especially learning the sport of baseball and the game of chess. Alessandro is currently looking for a second-semester host family. If your family is interested in hosting Alessandro for the second semester, please contact ISA Principal Steve Magadance at smagad@neisd.net or San Antonio’s local AFS support sponsor Ms. Denise Hoffman at dhoffman@afsusa.org.

Have a great weekend! Enjoy the beautiful weather.
