The ISE Turkish Homestay Program
This program enables qualified overseas and European high school students between the ages of 15 and 18 the opportunity to live with a Turkish host family and attend a local high school for one academic school year or one semester.


ISE Host Families
ISE selects host families that are open and eager to learn as well as share experiences with a teen-ager from an overseas country.  By living as a member of your family and participating in both school and community activities, your student will develop an awareness of the Turkish way of life that would be impossible to acquire in any other way.  The warmth and companionship between the host family and exchange student have proven to be the single most beneficial element in the student's international experience.


ISE Students
Participating students are between the ages of 15 and 18 ISE believes that this age group is most receptive to adapting to a family living and academic experience in a new culture.  All students are first carefully screened and must be recommended by a teacher or principal in their local school (overseas or Europe) before they are accepted to the program.  Only those students who can evidence academic interest and achievement, curiosity, adaptability and good command of the English, German or French languages are accepted.  Each student must satisfactorily complete a personal interview by qualified representatives of ISE in their home country.
