Host an International Student

King’s Academy is blessed by a growing community of international students who bring new perspectives, cultures, and stories to our school. Welcoming students from around the world enriches our classrooms, strengthens our global awareness, and reflects our mission to honor every student as an image bearer of God.

One of the most meaningful ways families can participate in this mission is by hosting an international exchange student.

A Life‑Changing Experience
This past school year, the Dvorak family opened their home to a student from Spain, creating a beautiful cross‑cultural experience for both their family and our school community. Their hospitality, generosity, and willingness to invest in a student’s life made a lasting impact, one that will be remembered for years to come.

Hosting an international student is more than providing a place to stay. It is:

• An opportunity to build lifelong relationships
• A chance to share Christ’s love through everyday life
• A way to help a student feel welcomed, known, and supported
• A meaningful experience that enriches your own family’s worldview
• Many families discover that hosting blesses them just as much as it blesses the student.

Why Host an International Student?
Families who host often describe the experience as transformative. Hosting allows you to:

• Build global connections
• Share your faith through hospitality
• Support a student’s academic and spiritual growth
• Strengthen your family’s cultural awareness

Students who come to King’s Academy bring unique gifts, perspectives, and stories that enrich our school community. Hosting helps them thrive while giving your family a front‑row seat to their growth.
