International Student Exchange, a leading non-profit high school exchange program with a regional office based in Cumming, is pleased to announce that Savannah resident Kathy Akcakanat is now an ISE area representative.

Students arrive with their own spending money, full health insurance and can share a bedroom with another teen. The host family contributes room and board, and welcomes the student as a member of their family for a semester or full academic year. Families are not expected to change their lifestyle; students must adjust to the family's schedule. Students are matched carefully to the family and ongoing supervision is provided.

For the 2007-2008 academic school year, ISE welcomed over 1,200 international students to the U.S. from 55 countries.  Please contact Kathy at (912) 232-3947 or email doodlebug17838@hotmail.com for more information on enriching your family’s life by hosting an ISE student.
