At International Student Placements, we take pride in the impact we’ve made in students lives all over the world. With over 30 years of experience, we’ve placed thousands of students with hosts, creating amazing experiences that last a lifetime.

Hosts Across the US

With a network of 8,000 host families across the nation, we provide students the chance to immerse themselves in diverse communities and traditions while enjoying a supportive and welcoming environment. We recognize that the term “host family” might evoke concerns about restrictions, but our hosts embrace the independence and freedom that today’s students value.

Over 23,000 students have embarked on life-changing journeys with ISP, gaining unique insights and experiences that extend far beyond the classroom. By connecting students with hosts who share a passion for cultural exchange, we help create meaningful opportunities for growth, connection, and understanding across diverse communities.

Groups Served

We’ve worked with 675 short-term groups to create customized ESL programs, experiential learning opportunities, and housing solutions. Whether groups choose ISP for programs, housing, or both, each experience is tailored to meet their unique needs. From small gatherings to large-scale programs, every opportunity is thoughtfully designed to broaden horizons and foster meaningful cross-cultural understanding for students.

Why Choose ISP

Safe

As part of our commitment to the safety and well-being of our students, ISP conducts background checks on all potential hosts. This process ensures a safe and welcoming environment. We evaluate each host’s suitability to host an international student, considering factors such as the living environment, home dynamics, and willingness to engage in cultural exchange.

Personalized

ISP takes care to review student profiles and match them with a host that complements their interests, personalities, and lifestyles. This thoughtful matching process helps foster positive relationships and enhances the overall experience for both the students and the hosts. We aim to ensure that international students have a supportive and enriching experience during their stay.
