Many of our team members were exchange students, are parents of kids who studied abroad, or have hosted exchange students. We know your family\u2019s journey and we are here to guide you.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n We at Southern Cross Cultural Exchange have arranged exchange programs for curious teenagers since 1983 and can\u2019t think of a better job. Nothing makes us more proud than seeing our students coming back more independent, confident and mature people just after a few months abroad. <\/p>\n\n\n\n With new language skills, international friends, and an inner strength will provide a significant advantage in both future work and study life. They will learn to take responsibility, handle unfamiliar situations, and adapt to a new and different culture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Check out our students’ blogs<\/a> to read and hear about the exchange experience from our current exchange students abroad. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n Please see further information about our Child Safety Policy, Quality Management System and our full Program Terms & Conditions here.<\/p> To study abroad as a high school exchange student, Southern Cross Cultural Exchange provides a safe way for a teenager to explore a new culture.
