​Nackawic High School is planning to participate in the New Brunswick International Student Program again next year.  This year, we are hosting one Grade 10 student from Germany for the entire school year and two Grade 12 students from Brazil for 2nd semester. We are hoping to expand the program next year, but in order to do so, we are seeking host families for these students for the 2019/2020 school year. Becoming a host family to a student from a different country and culture is both an enriching and challenging experience. Welcoming international students into your home helps develop friendships that will last a lifetime, and by sharing your home and offering guidance to your student, your family becomes an important part of their life too. Placements can be from September to January, February to June or for the entire school year. Visiting students live with a host family, attend regular classes at Nackawic High School and participate in extra-curricular and community activities for the duration of their visit. A host family does not need to have a child who currently attends Nackawic High School. Many grandparents, single adults and empty-nesters have volunteered to host students. There is also a financial incentive for host families to help compensate for the extra expense of welcoming a guest for an extended period. If you are interested in hosting an International student next year, if you have any questions about the program, if you would like to speak to experienced hosts, or if you would like more information about the responsibilities of host families, please contact Sean Newlands at 575-6042 or by email at sean.newlands@nbed.nb.ca. Please share this information with any family or friends that may be interested in hosting as well.​
