Host An International Student In Your Home!
Become A Host Family
A Host Family is anyone who shares their home, culture, and life with an exchange student, in this case, from France. Most of our Host Families are from San Diego County. Host Families have the opportunity to create lasting memories and lifelong international friends. Host families can be individuals, couples, or have children of their own!
Experience a New Culture
Introduce your family to a new language, new foods and music, and an entirely new culture without leaving home.
Support Diversity
Your hospitality and support of diversity will make a statement to your family, schools and throughout the community.
Make Lifelong Friends
Build lifelong friendships with students from across the globe.
Discover Your Own City with the Students
One of the best parts about hosting with ACE International is being able to attend the excursions with your student. Many activities and tours are free while the Amusement park tickets can be purchased at discounted group rates.
Receive Up to $800 Allowance
ACE International gives each family a host family Hospitality allowance to help with the extra cost for food and gas. You will receive $400 for hosting one student or $800 for hosting two students for our short three week program. You also have the option to donate all or a portion of this allowance back to ACE International or another charity of your choice.
