• Host Family of the Month

Each Month we evaluate our host families’ performance for actions that go above and beyond what is expected of them. This month we have chosen the Litwinko’s from CT.  They acted as a “Welcome Host” to two of our students before their permanent student arrived, volunteered to help with transportation for another student’s family and referred us possible host families and teachers for our Afterschool Programs.

The Litwinkos have received a bonus in addition to their monthly compensation.  The first step to being eligible for the “Bonus Program” is to complete your “Orientation Training”.

• What’s Cooking?

Not sure what to make for dinner?  We have added some handy links for some Chinese food ideas on the website.  If you know of any local Asian food markets or dishes please let us know and we will add them to the site. .

• Boarding School Students need a home for the holidays!

We are already getting requests from Boarding Schools for placement of their students over the holidays!  If you have extra room and will be available for another great cultural experience, please let us know.  appy@ivybridgegroup.com

• Calendar of Events

We are offering several field trips to keep the students entertained.  Please check our Calendar of Events
