If you are new to Buena Vista, or your child was in grades TK-4 in the past, BV has a robust international program that welcomes students from primarily South Korea and China to be part of a “Life in America” experience. BV has been a part of this program since 2011.
As we come out of the pandemic we need your help. This school year in January and February 2025, we have groups coming for short term visits and we need host families. Families that host will receive a $450 stipend.
The dates are:
January 19 to January 28: there will be 23 students from our sister school in S. Korea. It helps reduce the stress of our visitors if we can place two to a home but we can also use homes that can host 1 student.
February 3 to February 13: There will be roughly 13 students visiting from Taiwan. It helps reduce the stress of our visitors if we can place two to a home but we can also use homes that can host 1 student.
Please email Dave Morgan with any questions at principal@bvsda.org. If you are interested in having your child participate in this experience, you can request an application as well.
