Testimonials

"My experience with Heritage thus far has been wonderful.  Our student is fantastic, and a great addition to our family.  My three children refer to him as their big brother, and he always takes time out to play with them.  I have had no issues or any problems with Heritage.  The coordinator for my student is always friendly and very helpful.  My husband was hesitant at first to host, but he is now glad that we did."

"This has been a great experience for my family.  The student that we are hosting is polite, considerate, and a joy to have in our household.  It’s nice to learn about another culture and to share our culture as well.  Heritage Student Foundation has been very professional, and I would most definitely host another student in the future"

"Unlike other agencies, HSF provides a Local Coordinator to assure a home environment is agreeable for both students and host families.   Monthly onsite visits are scheduled as an overview of home life.  Constantly striving 24/7 to assist international students in their acclimation process, HSF is a proven winner in their field!"
