Few experiences can spark an interest in the world like hosting an exchange student. Now, more than ever, we need to have a curiosity about the world and expose our own kids to new cultures, languages and customs.
Host a international high school student for one or two academic semesters. EF Foundation for Foreign Study is the leader in the industry, and works closely with you to find the student that matches your family's interests, values and lifestyle. Like skiing? Music? Animals? Live on a farm or in an urban community? Our students have diverse interests, are aged 15-18 and come from 25 of the most interesting countries on Earth such as Germany, Hong Kong, Italy and Norway.
You can express your interest here and someone from our staff will follow-up with you within two business days. Or, visit www.effoundation.org to "meet" our incoming students and read their letters about why they want to come to America.
You can also call us toll-free at 1-800-447-4273.
Thank you for supporting high school exchange -- an extraordinary way to promote global awareness right from your kitchen table. We look forward to speaking with you.
