SPECIAL PROGRAMSERDT's Special Program division offers a wide variety of short-term programs, including homestays, ranchstays, farmstays, and group/study tours throughout the year. The length of time can range from one night to eight weeks. In homestay programs, the students or international visitors live in American homes and participate as a family member. The most important aspect of all homestays is this special cross-cultural family relationship.
In addition, ERDT Special Programs offer American high school students the opportunity to study abroad while living with a host family for a short-term summer program or for an academic year or semester.
