When you welcome an international exchange student into your school, your students win! By volunteering to host an EF Foundation student, your school is not just gaining another student—it’s gaining another teacher.

The World in Your Classroom

Foreign language classes extend beyond the classroom when native speakers walk the halls. World history lectures come alive when resident experts ride the school bus. The learning goes both ways, as your students will get the chance to share their enthusiasm for American culture, proudly showing off local traditions and customs.

American Dreams

Our exchange students benefit too. There’s a reason why the United States remains the leading destination for high school students studying abroad—there’s nothing in the world like an American education. International students love the mix of interesting electives, challenging classes and fun extras. Homecoming, prom, after-school clubs and team sports*—all of these uniquely American activities are what students dream of when they dream of a high school year here.

Bring International Student Exchange to Your High School

EF Foundation for Foreign Study is committed to helping all students be prepared to meet the challenges of the 21st century. We can’t do this without the help of high schools across the United States. If your school is ready to offer a world-class education, contact us to find out how to get started!
