LYME/OLD LYME — 1/5 UPDATE: We are delighted to report that a host family has now been found.
This year Lyme-Old (LOL) Lyme Schools have welcomed several students from other countries, who are attending Lyme-Old Lyme High School (LOLHS) through Study Abroad programs.
They are currently seeking a family to host a male 17-year-old student from China beginning in January of 2024 through the remainder of the school year.
A host is required to provide room and board for the student, involve the student in family activities and chores, and enrich the student’s experience by including the student in family, community, and cultural activities.
Hosts are compensated at a rate of $1,200 per month.
Hosts are not required to have children in the Lyme-Old Lyme School system.
If you are interested in hosting this student, contact LOLHS Principal Jim Wygonik at (860) 434-1651 or [email protected] as soon as possible. Although LOL Schools are closed for winter vacation from Dec. 23, 2023 through Jan. 1, 2024 inclusive, Principal Wygonik will be checking his email regularly and respond promptly.
If you are unable to host this student, LOL Schools administration invites you to share this information with anyone you believe may be interested.
