Bios Christian Academy is looking for host families to house students from other countries who will be attending our school. We will be allowing up to five full-time students to attend from other countries beginning the second semester of this year.
The list of responsibilities of the host family are common sense and essentially what a family would do for their own kids. These responsibilities include:
· Providing a warm, accepting, safe, and comfortable environment for the student.
· Providing a comfortable room for the student with bed, dresser, desk, closet, etc.
· Providing meals for the student.
· Monitoring the student's after-school activities as you would your own children.
· Fostering the student's spiritual growth.
· There are more responsibilities, but the general theme is treat the student as your own.
The criteria for being a Bios Homestay Family are:
1. Both parents must be evangelical Christians.
2. You must be a member of a local evangelical Christian church and attend regularly.
3. You must be able to meet the responsibilities of host families.
4. The Bios Homestay Host Family Application is submitted.
After the application is returned, an interview will be conducted by the principal and/or the Bios Homestay Coordinator. You will be notified of the results of the application process soon after the interview.
If all is successful, you will be contacted when a student that matches your expectations arrives. An interview will then be set up to make sure everyone is comfortable.
Our goals for including students from foreign countries into our Bios community include the opportunity to encourage those who are Christians, witness to those who do not hold dear the truths of the Bible, provide a superior college prep education, and to help them be a part of our community.
Each host family will receive $600 per month a student is with them.
Please pray about this opportunity. Any questions contact me.
