You can get information about the following programs abroad:
High School
Are you between 15 and 18.5 years old and want to live with an American host family as part of a high school stay and get to know American culture and everyday school life? Then find out about the possibilities of an exchange stay. Such stays are usually organized by exchange organizations, but it is also possible to plan such an exchange yourself. The stay usually lasts one year, but some high schools also offer a six-month stay.

Au Pair
If you enjoy working with children and want to get to know the everyday life of an American family, then an au pair stay in the USA is just right for you. However, au pair stays cannot be organized independently and must therefore be arranged through placement organizations. If you have any questions about the visa or your stay, please contact EducationUSA, where your questions about the au pair stay will be answered.
