High School Exchange · in depth
Every other exchange sends a student. We send a team.
Most exchange organisations place a student with a host family and check in remotely. Amerigo is different — a dedicated International Department is on campus when it matters most.

A dedicated support team
A dedicated Amerigo International Department on campus — real people who know your child by name, not a remote coordinator.
02
A semester or the full year
Start with a taste or go all in. Either way, the same complete Amerigo 360° support travels with your child.
03
Genuine immersion
Real classes alongside local students, real friendships and a new language every day — the experience that changes who your child becomes.

FAQ
The questions everyone asks first.
What is a high school exchange program?
A high school exchange places your child at a top school abroad for a semester or academic year for genuine cultural and academic immersion. Amerigo is the only exchange with a dedicated International Department physically on campus.
How is Multi-Destination different from a standard exchange?
A standard exchange is one semester or year at one school in one country. Multi-Destination spans two or three countries — a term at a partner school in each — for a more immersive, adventurous experience, still fully supported by Amerigo on every campus.
Who is Summer School for?
Students aged 12–18 who want a shorter taste of studying abroad. It combines academics, culture and friendships over two weeks in the US — a natural first step toward a longer exchange or diploma.
Does an exchange help with university admission?
Yes — time abroad demonstrates independence, adaptability and international fluency. Combined with Amerigo’s university coaching, exchange students build noticeably stronger applications.
