Education Travel & Culture (ETC) offers inbound program opportunities for high school students worldwide to study in an American high school and live with an American family. Our outbound program allows students to study and live in a foreign country. ETC’s goal is to provide exceptional support for both students and host families through a network of local coordinators and dedicated office staff.

Are you looking to make a meaningful difference in the world? Would you like to learn more about other cultures? Hosting a foreign exchange student is a great way to start! ETC works with the U.S. Department of State to find homes for high school foreign exchange students coming to the USA on a J‑1 visa. Students arrive from a variety of countries, ages 14‑18, and seek an American family to share a once‑in‑a‑lifetime experience.

• Ensure a safe and nurturing home environment for the student.
• Provide a room (which may be shared with a similarly aged host sibling) and a private bed.
• Provide 3 meals per day.
• Arrange transportation to and from school and for extracurricular activities.
• Give love and support to the student.
• Explore cultural differences and similarities together.
• Families with or without children are accepted.

• Each student brings their own spending money and health insurance.
• Students possess good English skills.
• Students are highly screened for the program.
• Students are excited to meet their American family.
• Students are eager to engage in new cultural experiences.
• Students want to share their culture with their host family.

• Learn a new culture by tasting new foods, listening to new music, and speaking a new language.
• Share your culture with an exchange student.
• Add another member to your family.
• Help an exchange student get an American education and an experience of a lifetime.

Testimonials from past host families: “Our exchange student has been such a blessing in our lives. We had no idea we were missing anything until she came into our lives. Having a host daughter has made us laugh harder than we ever have before. It’s been so special to see my kids love her, bond with her, and my daughter’s closest confidant in a time of her life.

She has become not just a daughter to me, but my friend.”
