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.

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.
