Hill School Families
Host Family Program
Each year, we have a remarkable group of international students that enroll at The Hill School. The Host Family program gives local families the opportunity to welcome someone from another culture into their family, while helping our international students in many ways. It is unique in that it is not a homestay program. All of these students live in our dorms and are immersed fully in the residential program.
Each year, we welcome a remarkable group of international students to The Hill campus. This year, we are especially excited to have 179 newly enrolled students, including 50 students from outside the United States. For many of them, this is not only their first time at Hill but also their first time living in the U.S.
While they are an integral part of our community, school breaks can be particularly challenging for international students who do not have the option of returning home. It would mean the world to them if you could open your warm family and provide a place of comfort during these times. Not only will you be offering invaluable support to a student far from home, but your family will also gain the unique opportunity to learn from another culture and form meaningful, lasting connections.

"We have opened our home to international students from The Hill, because it opens cultural doors for our family and creates relationships with students and their families." - Joyce DeVole P'17 '21
