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! 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 might also have the opportunity to try new
sports or activities and to explore your new host country.
