BRING THE WORLD
INTO YOUR SCHOOL!
LEARNING THROUGH EXCHANGE
By welcoming international exchange students into your school, you open your students' eyes to the world through cultural exchange. This will enrich students' school experience, as well as life in the local community, by bringing in people with a different perspective on life and the world. Your Education is here to help you take the first step into the world of cultural exchange!
Hosting foreign exchange students in your school will enrich the learning experience and social environment your school has to offer, providing your students with first-hand knowledge of different cultures and customs. As your students share their New Zealand life with an exchange student, they will in turn discover what they love about their own country, examining their own values and beliefs more critically. This opens up the opportunity for a deeper social and cultural education from their international peers.
​
Your Education exchange students aren't just here for an experience - they will become an integral part of your school's environment and culture. Our students are well-prepared to join and participate in the local community, from learning in the classroom to taking part in clubs and sport - or making lifelong friends with their classmates.
DIVERSIFY
STUDENT LIFE
Your Education exchange students will help your high school community thrive, as they strengthen school organisations, clubs, and extracurricular activities with new perspectives and experiences. Students from around the world can connect through shared interests and learn from their international peers - and some may give your school sports teams a boost!
EXPAND YOUR CLASSROOM
As a byproduct of their exchange, Your Education students help prepare your own high schoolers for a more globally-conscious future. International awareness and cultural acceptance is invaluable in our globalised world today, and our diligent and motivated students will teach your school community about life and norms in other parts of the world.
GLOBAL FRIENDSHIPS
Friendships forged with Your Education exchange students during their time in New Zealand do not just last the length of the exchange; they are lifelong. Our students tend to stay in touch with their school friends and host family long after returning to their home overseas. New Zealand students may even be invited to visit their international friends in the future, wherever they may be - and many exchange students return to visit New Zealand later in life.
CHANGE THE WORLD
Offering a New Zealand high school experience to foreign exchange students dissolves social barriers and builds connections over international borders, improving cross-cultural understanding among the generations of the future. Not only does enrolling exchange students in your high school change the lives of kiwi students and families, it could also change the world.
