START WITH HOMESTAY
Starting with a homestay with Renochingu is a great option for any international student. It offers a "real-life" experience that is second-to-none, and you will find that it could be one of the most rewarding parts of any international experience. Homestay programs allow students to jump right into their studies without the worries of finding housing, furniture or signing a lease all from overseas. In fact, if you are over 18 and start your experience in a homestay environment, your host will typically help you with many of your future decisions, including different long-term accommodation options.
Why Reno, Nevada, Is a Great Place To Raise a Family
Great schools, a welcoming community and incredible access to the outdoors are just a few of the reasons.
It's no secret that many American families have been shuffling around the country, finding the perfect place to raise kids and set them up for a successful future. Reno, Nevada, is one of many cities that has seen migration into its welcoming community. You may be asking, “What's so great about Reno?” Well, we're happy to answer that for you and have you ready to pack your bags by the end of this read.Reno is warm, relaxed and welcoming, with a tight-knit community that is quick to lend a hand. Renoites enjoy 300+ days of sunshine and all four seasons without extreme temperatures. There are tons of activities for families with kids of any age and flexible school choices (with an incredible public school system!). Zoning laws are lax and the land is wide open, so families often will have backyard chickens or recreation equipment like zip lines.
Nevada’s zero state income tax policy is another huge reason families are flocking to Reno. The extra money in a paycheck makes a huge difference, and the job opportunities are also phenomenal as Reno grows into a tech city.
We spoke with a fourth generation Reno resident, Kara Harris, about why she is raising her fifth-generation kids in the same city she grew up in, and she had nothing but praise for the Biggest Little City in the World.
Washoe County School District
The Washoe County School District is a public school district providing public education to students in all parts of Washoe County, Nevada, including the cities of Reno and Sparks, and the unincorporated communities of Verdi, Incline Village, Sun Valley and Gerlach.
Harris has three children in the public school system, and she spoke highly of the quality education they’re receiving from Washoe County Schools. “You don’t feel the need to send your kids to private school here like many people do in cities like New York. I really like our public school system, and you really do have an opportunity to have a say here,” Harris said.
She mentioned how she’ll often run into her local school board officials in the grocery store and she’s able to have a conversation with them then and there and actually feel heard.
“If you don’t like something, you certainly have the ability to change it,” she added.
There is also a great mix of school choices, from Montessori to private and charter establishments.
The top-notch education doesn't stop at high school. The professors, staff and alumni networks at local colleges and universities strive to keep graduates in the community by connecting them with helpful resources and support systems.
“It’s important for me that my kids feel community and support,” said Harris. And, within the Reno school systems, she knows that's exactly what their experience is and will continue to be.
