We are expecting over 120 stu- dents from around the world to attend Avon Maitland schools in Huron and Perth Coun- ties for the 2014-2015 school year. We will have short term, one semester and full year students coming from countries like Spain, Brazil, Mexico, Germany, Japan, China and even Australia. Host- ing an international stu- dent is a rewarding expe- rience for you and your family and of course a once in a lifetime experi- ence for your interna- tional guest. Most of these students are coming to Canada for the very first time and many travelling beyond their home for the first time. Canada, and in partic- ular Ontario, has an impressive reputation around the world for the quality of our education. Thousands of students from every corner of the earth look to Canada each year for a great edu- cation, a new cultural experience and to improve their English language skills. The num- bers continue to grow every year. We began promoting our schools not too long ago, in the fall of 2011. Since that time we have truly become a destination of choice. In our first year we attracted 29 students. We followed that with 88 students this year and we are on target to grow by as much as 40% for the 2014-2015 schoolyear. This benefits our schools and communi- ties in many ways. It cre- ates a more diverse pop- ulation providing our students with a more global perspective. It allows the Board to maintain many course offerings that might have been in jeopardy because of declining enrolment. It also saves valuable jobs in our schools and in some cases creates new employment opportuni- ties. ft also contributes to the local economy because these are fee paying students, who also pay for homestay services and bring along their own personal spending money. 100 full-time equivalent stu- dents would inject more that over $2 million into our local economy. Now with this growth, there are challenges. We need more active fami- lies across Huron and Perth to provide a home away from home for our international guests. The experience is priceless and host families are compensated. Contact us today to find out how it all works, how you and your family can benefit and how your participation will help our schools. We have representatives in all regions of our district who will visit with you and answer all of your questions. For more information call 1-800- 592-5437 ext 132.
