Host Families

At Norwich Free Academy, we are proud to enroll students from not just our partner districts, but from all over the world. From Canada to Finland to China, students come to NFA for a full experience and to prepare themselves for life after high school.
 
Part of what makes that experience unique is when our students reside with host families. Wonderful connections are made as our local families help these students adapt – and thrive – in their new environment. 
 
Are you interested in learning more about hosting an NFA student? Families are compensated monthly throughout the student’s stay. 
 
We’d love to learn more about you and your interest so we can match up our future students in the best home possible while they are here.
