​Host Family Opportunities

Wilmington Christian School is accepting applications from families who are looking to open their homes to host an international student. Hosting an international student is a great way to share God’s love with an individual from a different culture, while expanding your own family’s understanding of the world. 

Families provide a room, meals, and transportation to and from school and church and receive a monthly stipend to cover room, board, and local transportation expenses. Families of international students pay for the student's tuition, clothes, travel expenses, and toiletries.

Wilmington Christian School provides plenty of support for both students and their families.  Students meeting regularly for one-on-one meetings with the program director; regular social events are scheduled; and academic tutoring is available. Please contact the Admissions Office ([email protected]) for more information.
