Teach With Africa Educator Exchange
For the past five years, Drew has participated in the Teach With Africa Educator Exchange, hosting one or two young educators from South Africa. Educators in the program visit Bay Area schools for a three week intensive program where they visit classes, lesson plan with Bay Area teachers, and work on an inquiry based research project. Drew is very excited to host another Educator in March and we are looking for a Drew family to host our Educator!
Please contact Maren Anderson (marenanderson@drewschool.org) if you're interested in learning more about becoming a host!

Educators will be placed at a home-stay for the duration of the trip (3.5 weeks). We ask that host families have a separate room for them to stay in, l be able to include them in family meals, and provide transportation to and from the school on most days. Educators will have their weekends free to meet up with the rest of their group or spend time with host families.
Drew will be hosting a Host Family Orientation on February 10 at 6:00pm for selected families where you will be given information on the Educator you are hosting along with procedural information.
The program schedule is as follows:
February 26 | Team departs South Africa |
February 27 | Team arrives San Francisco and goes straight to their host families accommodations, or group orientation location TBD |
Feb 28 | Orientation in SF |
Feb 29 – March 26 | Host School Placements in SF |
March 24, Thursday | Last day in Host Schools – Inquiry Based Project Presentations |
Mar 25 | Team wrap up and reflection meeting - Group Activity |
Mar 26 | Move out of host family homes, Depart US |
For more detailed information on the program, you can visit the Teach With Africa website.
Please contact Maren Anderson, Director of Experiential Education at Drew and Bay Area/Teach With Africa Host School Liaison, at marenanderson@drewschool.org if you have any additional questions. If your family is interested in hosting, please fill out the Host Family Interest Form and submit to Maren Anderson.
Thank you!
