Great Schools – First Light Global connects your international students to affordable quality education in the USA.

“I had an amazing experience in my first 2 years in the US, especially thanks to my host family. They understood that I came from a different culture with limited English proficiency, and actively communicated with me to best support my transition to a new environment. They were very supportive not only in my education, but life outside of academics, such as supporting in my soccer games or celebrating holidays together as a family. I genuinely felt loved by my host family, and I still feel like I am part of my host family. I am again very grateful for the experience I had with my friends and my host family in the US!”

This kind of cultural exchanges between China and the United States will be unforgettable and beneficial to him all his life. Thanks again for caring about Joey! Thank you!”

“My host family were very welcoming and truly treated me like I was a member of their family. Going to school was tough at first because I did not speak English but teachers and classmates were very kind and helpful so I was able to adujust to the school quickly. I joined a school choir and had so much fun. I made so many wonderful memories in the US that I will cherish forever.”
