ISP_logoEager and enthusiastic families are sought to provide home stays for these international students.  The cultural rewards are wonderful and lifelong friendships are formed.

ISP Coordinators provide a detailed in-home orientation for all host families and are available at all times throughout the year to answer questions and solve any issues that may arise. ISP also provides guardianship service for minor children studying in the U.S.  

If this opportunity has peaked your interest please review the ISP website at www.isphomestays.com.  Most of your questions will be answered by reading the Host application and agreement as well as reading the Student agreement.

Once you’ve reviewed the ISP site, if you have further questions please contact the ISP San Francisco Housing Coordinator, Harriet Leff, at 415-771-5158 or by email: harriet@isphomestays.com

Host families for international high school students are paid a monthly stipend of $900.  ISP also places college students with host families.

conversations with a
Kenyan Waldorf Teacher

Philisia Shake, the current fifth grade teacher at the Rudolf Steiner School Mbagathi, visited our school for several days during April.  She was hosted by Meg Gorman who met Philisia a year ago in Kenya during a around-the-world trip to Waldorf schools.  Philisia is a lively, engaging woman who brought East African stories and experiences to our students and also to parents during an evening presentation.  She told the children a true story about the time last summer when a lion entered the school compound and fatally attacked one of the school’s cows.  She also shared insights into the current Kenyan political situation with high school students, and in one class she found herself explaining circumcision rites in her Taita tribe. 

Philisia embodies a unique combination of traditional African ways, the modern African spirit, and Waldorf education.  Her visit was a delightful inspiration for everyone.
