From the editor: Can you host an international student coming to the U.S. to attend Notre Dame? Read on to learn more about Green Planet – a group that places international students with host families – and what’s involved in being a host family!
Join Green Planet Homestay and Notre Dame High School in increasing global awareness by hosting an international student. Green Planet is an educational service company that specializes in bringing on-the-ground support to international student programs at U.S. high schools across the country.
Other than the mutual benefits of forming a lasting friendship with an international student and making a positive impact on his or her life, participating families also receive stipend compensation to help offset the costs of hosting a student. For Notre Dame High School and the surrounding area, families would receive a stipend of $1,200 per month.

As a host, you can expect local support on a variety of tasks, such as helping you coordinate meeting your student upon their arrival, ensuring that you have all necessary documentation, and helping you stay connected with the school community. Regular check-ins guarantee that you always have a watchful eye to provide support, to prevent misunderstandings, and to help mediate if issues arise.
We strive to give our students a quality homestay that will allow them to thrive in a new environment. A nurturing host family can make all the difference in an international student’s American experience. We are dedicated to ensuring that the students we serve are provided warm and suitable homes with caring American families who live within the vicinity of the school area.
