Dear Elkins Pointe Families,
The Japanese World Language Program is seeking host Families for Japanese Students! We are looking for seven families to host Japanese high school students for a short cultural exchange visit from Monday, March 17, to Wednesday, March 19, 2025.
We would like host families to:
1) Providing lodging and meals during the student’s stay.
2) Offering transportation
- 3/17 (Mon) 5:30 p.m. pick up your Japanese student at EPMS
- 3/18 (Tu) Japanese student come to EPMS with host student, attend EPMS Japanese class, then go back home with host student
- 3/19 (Wed) Japanese student depart EPMS (time TBA)
3) Sharing your daily life and culture, such as grocery shopping, attending school sporting events, or going for walks.
No Japanese language skills are required! The students can communicate in simple English.
If your family is interested in this rewarding experience, please fill out the initial interest form here. Afterward, we will send you another form to gather more detailed information about your family.
This is a wonderful opportunity for your student to learn about Japanese culture and language while making lasting memories. We understand everyone’s schedules are busy, but your participation would mean so much and would greatly enrich this exchange experience.
Thank you for considering opening your home and heart to a Japanese student!
Arigatoo & please let me know if you have any questions.
