The Homestay:
Students and hosts agree that the homestay is one of the best parts of
the program. The hosts are a diverse group: young and old, married couples
with children, single people living alone, groups of people sharing housing,
working people, professionals, scientists, artists, etc.. We try to match
students with hosts who have similar interests. The school does not pay
the hosts: the hosts offer their homes because they want to meet you and
because they want to help Penobscot School. During the week, students are
busy at school and usually have time only for late evening and breakfast
conversations with hosts, but on weekends students are free to spend time
with their hosts, take meals together and often organize weekend trips
and parties with their hosts and friends.
Meals:
Students have breakfast with their hosts. Monday through Friday, students
and teachers prepare and eat lunch together at the school. Lunch is usually
simple: sandwiches and fresh salad from the garden, perhaps soup, but students
and teachers are free to make whatever they like. We also prepare dinners
together at the school on weekday evenings. Each day two students help
with shopping and preparation of dinner. Fresh local seafood and garden
vegetables are favorites. Students sometimes prepare dishes from their
home countries and invite hosts and friends to eat with them at the school.
