A Student Exchange Experience

If you are between 14 and 18 years old, you can study abroad as an exchange student for one or two semesters and have the adventure of a lifetime!

Travel is one of the best things you can do in life. It gives you the chance to try new things and see beautiful places. But being an exchange student offers even more than that: you get a second home. You will get to know a completely different place, be immersed in a different culture, and meet people from other parts of the world. You will learn things about yourself that would not have been possible to learn on shorter trips or vacations. When you study abroad as an exchange student, not only will you get to experience the wonders of travel – you will also grow as a person and as a global citizen, have an international education, learn new things, and gain more self-confidence.

Choose between Classic and Select

Your future is in your hands and a year as an exchange student will serve as a springboard for achieving your full potential. As an exchange student, you can choose between Classic and Select.

With STS High School Classic you choose what country you want to go to. STS will place you with a carefully selected host family and a suitable school somewhere in your chosen country.

With STS High School Select you get to choose which city you want to live in, what school you want to attend, and what particular subjects you want to study. If you also want to participate in a specific sport during your year abroad, Select is a great choice to guarantee that your school offers it. Select is available in the US, Canada, the UK and Ireland.
