Andeo offers opportunities to host teens and adults from Spain, France, Germany, Japan and other countries! Options include short programs during the school year, summer homestay immersion programs, and summer study programs.
School Visits from Spanish and French Teens
Language classes come to life when your students can practice speaking with a teen from France or Spain! his program gives your students the opportunity to learn from thoughtful, dynamic international students who are eager to share their language and culture. The French and Spanish students stay in host families and visit high school for 2 or 3 weeks with their host brothers and sisters. They love to assist in class; you can fit them into your curriculum with activities such as conversation groups, pronunciation help, Q&A about the life of a teenager in France/Spain, or participation in skits. When they are not helping you, the international students will be shadowing their hosts in other classes. The goal of this program is cultural exchange that will benefit your school and students, the American hosts, and the French and Spanish teens!
French Programs
- We place the French students in many schools to be sure that we don’t have too many students at one school.
- We have an informational packet prepared to introduce the program to your school administrator for approval.
- We ask you to send around a sign-up sheet so your students can indicate an interest in hosting. We will contact the families and take care of all of the communication with the hosts.
FEBRUARY 9 to 23, 2008
French students from Lille will visit middle schools and high schools in the Portland area.
APRIL 1 to 20, 2008
French students from Annecy will visit high schools throughout Oregon and Washington. Students are all 15-16 years old. All of these students are from the same school, and they are in a special class to prepare them for this trip.
Spanish Programs
- We only get one or 2 groups of Spanish students each September, so please let us know right away if you are interested. A group consists of 15 students, and one group can be hosted by a single school, or split between 2 neighboring schools.
- We have an informational packet prepared to introduce the program to your school administrator for approval.
- We ask you to send around a sign-up sheet so your students can indicate an interest in hosting. We will contact the families and take care of all of the communication with the hosts.
High school students from Spain visit soon after school opens in September. A scholarship committee in Spain selects the students to participate in an American school experience based on good academics and financial need. The students stay with host families for 3 weeks, but they are not at school every day. The Spanish students also participate in a program of activities coordinated by ANDEO.
2008 Tentative dates: September 8 to 26

“Jean and Sandrine were a delight. They were gracious, made friends easily, helpful in class, generous with their time. Our school was a richer place for having them with us. Your excellent reputation for finding wonderful foreign students for our families to host has been confirmed. It was a pleasure.”
