General

Is this program for university? No. This exchange program serves high school students only — it does not include college or university placement.
How old should my child be? Most students are between 14 and 18 at the time of enrolment.
When should we start? Twelve to eighteen months before the intended intake. Earlier means more school and scholarship options.
Do you guarantee admission or a visa? No honest adviser can. We maximise your odds with strong applications and thorough interview preparation.
