The SHARE! Student Exchange Program sponsors high school students from abroad for either one semester or one year of study in the United States. Each student is matched with a suitable Host Family and attends the local high school in the district in which the family lives.
The Students
The students come to America from around the globe, including countries such as Australia, Belgium, Brazil, China, Czech Republic, Ecuador, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Hungary, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Poland, Serbia and Montenegro, Slovakia, South Korea, Spain, Switzerland, Thailand, and Turkey. They are between the ages of 15 and 18 years and are carefully screened in their home countries to ensure that they are academically prepared and proficient in English. Students arrive with health insurance and pocket money to cover personal expenses. All students are required to provide detailed personal and academic information as part of our exchange student application, which includes teacher recommendations, an English proficiency test, school transcripts from the three most recent years, with English translations, and medical/dental reports.
Mission Statement
The goal of ERDT/SHARE! is to provide opportunities for people of different cultures to come together to learn about other points of view and ways of life. We at ERDT/SHARE! believe that cross-cultural understanding is fundamental to developing mutual respect and tolerance between Americans and people from around the world. Our programs provide cultural experiences that foster good will, tolerance, and understanding through a positive people-to-people experience.
