Welcome to St. Louis! We're so glad you're here! International students like you contribute greatly to the richness and vitality of our city.

​

Would you like to have an American "Friendship Family" while you're here? Friendship Families are a wonderful way to:

​

• meet an American family that really wants to know you! They'll be interested in learning about you, your family, and your country.

• see how Americans live and see the inside of an American home.

• ask questions about living here -- about shopping, driving, and places to visit. They will know!

​

Having a Friendship Family is great fun!  In many cases, students and their American families become lifelong friends.

​

If you'd like to have a Friendship Family, please contact Sharon at ismstlouis@gmail.com or 314-452-6406.
