What is a High School Exchange ?
Going on a high school exchange with Your Education means that you will spend from a month up to a year overseas . You get the chance to live with a host family and attend a local high school . Your host family will share their everyday life with you , teaching you about their country and sharing their traditions with you . You will also have a local representative to guide and look after you . Many of the local representatives arrange activities and trips - a perfect way to experience new things . An exchange is the perfect opportunity to reinvent yourself and try something new , whether it ’ s a new sport or a different subject in school .
Why do a High School Exchange ?
An exchange is a unique opportunity to learn about a different country , make new friends and perhaps become fluent in another language . Your host family will welcome you into their home and community , so you will quickly feel like part of the family !

Studying overseas is an invaluable experience that will help you become more independent and globally aware . You will acquire new skills that will benefit your future studies and career , ensuring you stand out from the crowd . Whilst spending time with your host family and going to school you might also have the opportunity to try new sports or activities and to explore your new host country .
