  • Host an Exchange Student

    You can do something important and wonderful for a young person by hosting an exchange student! Contact Art Lader at alader@acpsd.net if you are willing to host an exchange student, know someone who might be, or would like more information. It would be a year-long adventure and the goal is to place two students in Aiken County. If no host families are found, the students have to stay home and miss the experience of a lifetime.
