“My family hosted our first student through Compass USA nine years ago. Since
then we have welcomed 4 other students as well." 

Morrison Family

“Short-term hosting is so ideal for my family. We will never be able to travel abroad, so what better way to introduce culture than to host a student in the summer.” 

Aiden Family

“All five of my kiddos have benefitted from hosting. We've made life-long friends
that we will treasure forever.”
