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. A guidance counsellor at your school
will help you choose your subjects. 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.

Your Education for giving
me this opportunity. It has
honestly changed my life"

Why do a
High School Exchange?
An exchange is a unique opportunity to learn about a new 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! You will also make loads of friends at
school, many of whom may become lifelong friends.
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
will also have the opportunity to try new sports or activities and to explore your new host country.
