This spring, St. Martin’s Episcopal School families have a unique opportunity to host a French exchange student from March 20 through April 2, 2026.

Hosting an exchange student is a meaningful way to experience another culture firsthand while creating lifelong connections. Students and families alike gain a deeper appreciation for global perspectives, language, and traditions, all while forming friendships that often last well beyond the exchange itself.

For our students, this experience offers:

• A chance to learn about French culture and daily life
• Opportunities to practice language skills in a real-world setting
• New friendships and unforgettable memories
• A deeper understanding of global citizenship

Host families provide a welcoming home, daily meals, and inclusion in family life during the student’s stay. In return, they gain a rich cultural experience and the joy of helping a visiting student feel at home in our community. No prior French language experience is required to host a student.

This exchange is a wonderful way to live out St. Martin’s commitment to curiosity, connection, and learning beyond the classroom.
