How do you learn about the Foreign Exchange program?

I am trying to learn about the rules and regulations regarding this subject. I know people in Africa and think their son would benefit from a program for foreign exchange students.How do you learn about the Foreign Exchange program?Talk to your school advisor or guidance counselor about what kind of foreign exchange program they offer.How do you learn about the Foreign Exchange program?Find a school first that will take in the students. You need to have formal acceptance from the school first. THere are very few student exchange programs for high school students, but it's fairly common in college.

Then get a passport and apply for a Student visa in the Embassy of the country you want to study in. The requirements for a visa are listed in their website.



The requirements for International students is more or less the same for the regular student. SAT scores, High school transcript, extracurricular activities, application form, etc. Plus they need TOEFL and statement of capability to finance an education in US.



There are articles there about International students.

My advice is to contact the school you are interested in. Maybe through fax or e-mail. You could have an arrangement with the school for several of the boys to stay there for a year. With a family/sponsor. It's not uncommon for American families to host a foreign exchange student. They live with the families for a year, learn the American culture, eat American food, celebrate traditional American holidays, etc. It's much better than having them stay at a dormitory inside the campus where they'll spend holidays alone.
