Hosts for Students From France Ombrosa School is a non-profit, K-12, multilingual private school based in Lyon (France). Ombrosa wishes to provide its students the opportunity to experience life abroad, not only to improve their language skills, but also to gain maturity and develop friendships that often last throughout the years. As part of their curriculum, students travel to different countries. Ombrosa School is currently looking for host families in the Peace River area. Students would be twinned with Holy Family students and would attend school with them. A financial contribution is given to the Canadian hosts ($500). This is to help with the cost of food, transport, activities and day trips. This year’s visit will take place in late April/early May 2024. Families of students in grades 6-10 who are interested in hosting students from France can contact Mr. Randall for more information at scott.randall@hfcrd.ab.ca.
