International student finds home-away-from-home with Blue Hill family
The George Stevens Academy is on the lookout for host families for the 2014-2015 academic year.
The number of host families needed is dependent on the needs of the student body, but generally around 15-20 students per year live with local families instead of in the GSA dorms, said Kathy Pelletier, Director of Student Life for the school.
