Skiing with host family

A home away from home

Where you live and who you live with are the core of your high school exchange experience. We carefully choose host families who can provide a caring environment where you feel supported and you study at a local school. As the new member of their family, you will be immersed in their daily lives. You’ll take part in their dinner conversations – a fantastic way to master the local language – and join their weekend activities. It is not surprising that many of our students and host families stay in touch long after the exchange is over.
