Our exchange students

Exchange students grow tremendously as a person. They develop cultural awareness, independence, maturity, self-confidence, self-awareness, grit, adaptability, problem-solving skills, leadership— and much more.

Exchange students with a solid grasp of English become truly fluent. By the end of their time abroad they are able to speak, read, and write English more naturally and with greater ease.

Exchange students also become fluent in the culture, customs, and traditions of another country and become an ambassador for the place they called home during their exchange.

Our students are eager to gain a second family and make friendships for life. Many of our host families and students are in touch for years to come and consider themselves family.
