Host Family Program
Westtown School is proud to annouce THE HOST FAMILY PROGRAM! This optional program joins the INTERNATIONAL HOST FAMILY PROGRAM founded in 1991 which will continue to be managed by Margaret Hudgings. It is being offered for any American/U.S.-based boarder who feels they could benefit from the added support of a local "surrogate" family to help them with some of the challenges they face being apart from their families.
While it is our desire to find a host family for any American/U.S.-based boarder who requests one, during the first year of the program, priority will be given to students based upon their age (youngest first), geographic distance from home, and other transitional needs.
