Classic Exchange Programs in California

Request California for your Classic USA Program

When you choose our USA Classic High School program, you can make an area request. California is always one of our most popular requests from exchange students. Many students dream of California beaches and iconic attractions. The state is incredibly varied, with famous cities, tourist attractions, coastline (and surprisingly cool water!), scenic mountains and innovative companies – an amazing place to spend your exchange program.

California area request on the Classic High School program is available on a first come, first serve basis and in very high demand! If space is available, we’ll place you with a welcoming host family who lives in California. There is an additional fee, but you’ll only pay that add on once your California placement is confirmed. Get in touch with us as early as possible to book your interview and save your spot!

Perfect for students who:

Want an American cultural immersion experience living with an American host family
Create friendships that will last the rest of your life
Hope to study high school in California
Do not need to choose a specific school

Living with a California host family

On our USA Classic High School program, no matter where you are placed, we’ll place you with a carefully screened host family and you’ll attend a school near the host family. In addition to your host family, you’ll be assigned to a Local Coordinator who will be your support contact throughout your program from beginning to end.
