Exchange year abroad
A school year in the USA, Canada, Europe, Australia or Asia for young people.
Four steps
Talk to Deng
A first call with the young person and the parents. Which country, which school year, and what they hope to get from it.
Pick the route
Two routes. An exchange organisation on the CSIET list, which finds the host family and the school. Or a private school the family picks and pays, which is our Placement work.
We prep the family
The papers, the deadlines, what the year costs, and what the first weeks in a new home and a new school are like.
Check-ins
We call during the year, with the young person and with the parents.
What a family should know
- An exchange year is for school and daily life. A new language, a host family, a new school.
- The organisation is on the CSIET list. CSIET checks exchange programs in the USA every year. Read the CSIET Advisory List yourself before you choose.
- We never pick the school. The exchange organisation places the student with a host family and a school.
- Parents lead. Under 18, the parents decide and sign.
