Welcome to a Unique High School Student Exchange Program.
If you are looking for a great education as well as friendships, memories and experiences that will last a lifetime then you should definitely consider this study abroad opportunity
“In many respects New Zealand high school education is ahead of where we are in the US in terms of both curriculum design and pedagogy. Having seen first- hand the quality of teaching and the diverse range of study opportunities offered by New Zealand schools, I have no doubt this program will have huge benefits for students wishing to enrich their educational experience”. Pat Jones, Academic Dean, Chadwick School, Palos Verdes Peninsula, California, October 2007.
New Zealand's innovative thinking, highly regarded education system, awesome recreational opportunities, safe society, and incredible natural environment make it the first choice for high school students seeking an unparalleled student exchange experience.
We offer sudents from the US, Canada, Latin America and Europe placement at any one of five high performing New Zealand schools. Students aged 15yrs to 18yrs can choose to spend 3,6,9 or 12 months living and learning in a country of ideas and achievers and experience what Outside Magazine calls the "coolest country in the world". We provide a highly personalized experience including individualized school and home-stay placement.
Your international study experience can be in the city, or the country, at the beach, or in the mountains. As well as a regular high school program, we offer a Gap Program for recent high school graduates and a specialist Rugby Training Program.
