Padua Seeking Host Families



This school year we expanded Padua's tradition of educating students from around the world by adding our first student from Santiago, Chile.

We now have three prospective students coming for the first semester beginning in August 2022.  Our Chilean students are exchange students, meaning they are here solely for an American educational experience. These students will be here only for the first semester and leave by Christmas.  We have three young men looking to come for August 2022-December 2022. (One of the young men will come for only a quarter and not a full semester.)
