Student Experience
Student Exchange is a great choice for international students who wish to combine the flexibility of an academic F-1 program with a cultural experience in the USA. Students attend SEVP approved public & private high schools, all of which have been carefully selected and screened. Student Exchange is a great alternative to J-1 programs, which can be limited in scope and availability.

Overview of Participating Schools
Student Exchange works closely with our partner American high schools to bring global diversity to their local community. If allowed by the state and school, students are able to participate in activities including sports, clubs, music, drama, and graduation. We are continually adding new schools that are excited about this opportunity.
Schools and host families are selected by Student Exchange and matched with students based on the information provided in the student application. Student Exchange is always adding to its program offerings, so interested schools should contact us for further information.
Student Exchange works with schools and host families in a variety of communities throughout the United States. The American families live in larger cities, in small towns, and in rural communities. We believe students should experience all aspects of American culture.
