If you have a spare room, welcoming attitude, and the desire to make a positive impact locally and globally, then you should host an exchange high school student. Host families committed to the success and well-being of our exchange students have made this high school exchange program possible since 1982!
In order to understand one another, we have to open up and share our daily lives. By hosting an exchange student from another part of the world, you promote friendship, understanding, and cooperation. These exchanges allow us to better understand our differences and appreciate our similarities.

Mission Statement
We believe that international exchange programs provide a distinct opportunity for personal growth and development. We strive to bring this experience to as many exchange students and host families as possible. Through our exchange programs, we endeavor to educate tomorrow’s leaders and enable them to become culturally-informed citizens of the world. It is also our goal for the experience of exchange to bring the people of the world closer together . Also for the relationships created between exchange students, host families, and local communities to promote peaceful, cooperative international relations.
Description
International Student Exchange provides several services in order to facilitate our J-1 inbound program. The process begins with a careful screening of potential exchange student applicants. Next, we sponsor the J-1 visa for eligible high school students so that they may travel to the United States and participate in either a 5, 10 or 12-month exchange program. We also maintain a network of dedicated volunteer host families.
Those families allow us to secure a safe and welcoming placement for each incoming student. As our exchange program proceeds, we provide supervision and guidance to all program participants. Consistent reports are sent to the natural parents so that they may follow along with their progress.
