Learning to be comfortable in unfamiliar circumstances becomes a catalyst for growth. Each exchange experience helps the student develop personal confidence, self-reliance, and leadership skills that can only be gained through experiential learning and transformational education. This type of learning is “beyond the textbook.”

​

An international reciprocal exchange can help you:

​

• Achieve fluency in a new language

• Gain advanced vocabulary

• Make lifelong friendships

• Develop an appreciation of the host country and culture

• See world events and news from a more global perspective

• Try new activities and eat new foods

​

• Test into/out of advanced language classes

• Academic advantages over your peers

• Preferred University admissions

• Possible collegiate scholarships

• Enhanced global career opportunities
