Thank you for taking care of us international students and I had 4 wonderful years with you guys. You are like “parents” to us. All stuff are supportive and sweet. I miss you guys and I will be back to visit for sure.
IEM is great! We’ve been hosting students with them for 1.5 years and they’re wonderful to work with. Since the beginning, they’ve been very helpful with any questions we’ve had or issues that have come up. They are always supportive of the students (going to sporting events, plays, recitals or just talking on the phone) and we can tell they truly care for the students very much. We look forward to hosting more students with IEM :)
I freakin miss these life-lasting friends. (but start over high school? Hack no lol)Just continuing having them in the rest of my life.Thank you.
IEM is extremely professional and caring with both host families and students. Whenever we needed them, they were very prompt replying to our inquiries and very helpful with everything we needed.
Ive worked with the teachers in IEM. They are very professional and caring. Student-centered is not just a slogan, but what they do everyday.
I was hosted in a different country when I was younger. Through my host family, I learned the language, the traditions, culture, history and gained lifelong friendships. It was one of the most valuable types of education I ever received. Now as an adult, I am able to do the same for students coming to this country. Through IEM, I am able to give students the same opportunities I had. Not only do I see these children grow, learn, and experience our country, but my family and I get to learn about our host students culture, language and country. This is so important for both parties as it breaks down borders, stereotypes and brings worlds together. IEM is a well organized, helpful homestay company that has helped me through the whole hosting process. I can always rely on them if I have questions.
I recently had the good fortune of attending IEM’s annual Spring Gala this May. During my time at the event, I spent a considerable amount of time getting to know both the faculty members and host families behind the organization. What a delightful group of people!The work IEM does is very respectable considering the opportunities they make possible for international students. They don’t simply pair students with any host family that will take them, but rather find the right match upon careful consideration. This was quite obvious as I witnessed first-hand the bond each family shared with their students. Such care is extremely important for an organization that specializes in helping students from around the world adapt to American culture and the splendid planning behind this gala was another hint at the quality of work IEM brings to the table.I had a great time getting to know the organization and students who benefit from it. Great party, IEM. I look forward to the next one!
Support when going on to American high school (support with local schools, procedures, arrangement of accommodation, travel during long holidays, daily study) Support me in detail, it is safe to live study abroad life in local schools I can do it. You will be able to get in touch smoothly and be kind enough to give advice on how to enter university. Even when I was worried about English, I was able to receive quite ample support, such as arranging individual lessons outside the school.
IEM was for us the ideal option for my daughter Michelle to master the English language. And it was through IEM that he had the opportunity to access the educational system of the United States, with many alternatives that allow him to define his vocation.The coexistence with international partners was fascinating for her and enriched her spirit.Her hosting family, Natashia, supported us and took care of her for more than 1 year. Ms. Sueky Su, Ms. Raquel and Ms. Miroslava always very close and attentive to our concerns and requests.Now Michelle headed to high school thanks to IEM.
