International Experience (iE) provides a platform for international high school students, their host families and their host communities to connect, relate and explore both the differences that define us as well as the similarities that unite us. We believe that learning about other cultures, languages and customs is the best way to dispel prejudice and embrace global citizenship.
Our presence in Chattanooga has grown from 4 host families in 2020 to nearly 30 in 2022! Families can host anywhere in Hamilton County as well as Bradley, Sequatchie, Polk, Loudon, Knox, and surrounding counties.
Sara is reachable by text, phone, or email and has a team of 5 Local coordinators ready to help you get started on your journey with your exchange student! Students arrive in August 2023, but students are being matched to host families now!
