UTP High Schools Support Services
Pre-Arrival Scheduling
Advising
Tutor Matching
Whether you are pursuing your high
school diploma or spending a semester or
year as an exchange student, it is best for
you to know in advance what you will be
studying at Bishop Guertin. The UTP team
will arrange pre-arrival interviews and
testing, either in-person in your country
or via Skype, to ensure that you can make
the most of the courses offered.
The UTP team works in conjunction with
all Bishop Guertin faculty to advise on
how to effectively work with international
students. This ensures that students
do not miss out on valuable academic
resources and recreational opportunities.
We work hard to keep you informed
about what is current in the school.
In addition to regular support from
Bishop Guertin teachers, students who
are having difficulty with a particular
subject can be matched with a peer tutor
who is a member of the Bishop Guertin
National Honor Society. Peer tutors are
current Bishop Guertin students who
make themselves available in order to
mentor and instruct other students in
subjects in which they excel. Located in
the Bishop Guertin Academic Support
Center, students can utilize this resource
during their free periods throughout the
school day. If a student requires additional
academic support, our Student Services
team is happy to help students connect
with one of several experienced tutors
that work with our program.
Progress Reports
Arrival Pickup Management
and Transportation Services
From the moment you arrive in the United
States, our UTP team will ensure that
your transportation needs are met. We
will arrange airport pickup and transfer
to your homestay. Throughout your
program, the UTP team works together
with the school and your host family
to be sure transportation is provided to
and from school.
Orientation
International students will join Bishop
Guertin students in their regular
orientation activities. However, the UTP
team will organize a special orientation
for international students, including
important information sessions. There will
also be fun activities to help you feel right
at home from the moment you arrive.
Day-to-Day Support
Studying in another country brings
challenges beyond just the language
barrier. The UTP office is the information
point for all international students at
Bishop Guertin. Our Student Services
team is physically present on a daily basis
at the Bishop Guertin campus.
The UTP team will send periodic progress
reports back to each student’s parents,
giving them a sense of comfort. These
reports are a valuable resource, which
allows parents to see their sons and
daughters progress academically and
socially while they are away from home.
Insurance Plan
Our international students maintain
adequate health insurance coverage
through IMG Global. Students have 100%
coverage in-network and access to many
options for U.S. healthcare providers. UTP
assists both host families and students in
finding the proper provider in any given
circumstance, as well as assistance with
all necessary claims after a visit to a
medical professional.
Global Ambassador Club
The Global Ambassador Club is a student
organization run by the UTP team
at Bishop Guertin High School. Club
members are American students who
help international students by organizing
orientation and other extracurricular
activities. They also take part in
workshops in the Language Foundation
classes and support the international
student body where they can.
Homestay Program
We have a large network of local host
families who take pride in welcoming
international students into their homes.
The Homestay Program is an exceptional
opportunity for international students
to sharpen their English language
ability by immersing themselves in daily
conversations with typical American
families. Our Student Services team
works diligently to review each student
application. They then determine which of
our host families can best help integrate
students comfortably into American
society. By matching our students with
the most compatible host families, we
ensure they have a comfortable and safe
home-environment in which they can
succeed both academically and socially.

American Experience Program
The American Experience Program was created to give international
students the opportunity to explore American life and culture. With so much
to learn, and what feels like such little time, it’s important for each student
to make the most of their stay abroad.
At the start of a UTP program, each student will receive between 25-50 points
(semester or full year). These points are to be used towards activities of interest
and allows students to choose from a wide variety of excursions without concern of
planning or expenditures. With so many activities at their fingertips and incredible
opportunities to familiarize with life in America, students will discover new potentials
and truly experience the USA.

all aspects of American school life, and outside of the classroom I visited Boston and explored life
in the USA. Every part of my experience here was one to remember, from the friendly students to
the crazy hockey games. Everyone was quick in accepting me into friend groups, family and

Home Life and Accommodation
Living with a host family while you study at Bishop Guertin will offer you
the best insight into true American lifestyle.
Our host families are carefully selected from our large local network. They provide a
safe, comfortable place to stay and act as a home away from home during a student’s
time with us at Bishop Guertin. Living with a family not only allows students to practice
their English even more, but it also gives them the opportunity to gain a unique insight
into the American way of life.
Students usually stay in a ‘typical’ American home, which may consist of two stories,
two or more bedrooms and more than one bathroom. There will also be common living
space and a kitchen. You may receive your own bedroom or you may share with a host
brother or sister.
A home in New Hampshire usually has a yard to relax or play sports in and typically
there will be a park and shops nearby. Every home is different, so every homestay
experience will be unique. Generally, with the homestay program, the more effort the
student makes to participate in the life of his or her host family, the more enriching their
experience will be.
Dining
At Home
At School
Through our homestay program, your
breakfast and dinner are provided during
the week. On the weekends, you are
provided with breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Any special dietary requirements will be
noted. Your host family may even take
you to an international supermarket or
help you find some foods from your
home country. Dining as a family is a
very important aspect of many American
households, and this time with your host
family will be a big part of your cultural
experience in the States.
Students at Bishop Guertin eat their lunch
in a large school cafeteria. You will be able
to choose from many different options,
which change throughout the week.
You’ll be able to sit with your friends
and enjoy lunch together on your break
between classes.
Weekend Life
While studying at Bishop Guertin, students have many options for weekend
activities. Centrally located in the heart of New England, Nashua is
surrounded by scenic countryside and is just an hour’s train ride to Boston!
Whether you prefer the picturesque White Mountains and Lakes region or want to relax
on the seacoast, Bishop Guertin offers many opportunities for recreation and travel.
Take a day trip to Boston or go skiing with friends for the weekend. Many students
also enjoy home life with their host families, attending barbecues and joining family
gatherings. Bishop Guertin also hosts many exciting events such as Prom and sporting
events. Around New England, you’ll discover countless beaches, parks, shopping malls,
movie theatres and restaurants. With so much to explore, you can be certain that
while you are studying at Bishop Guertin, you’ll always have something fun to do
on the weekends.
