Get Ready for Exchange

Get ready for a life-changing Experience

DEAR EXCHANGE STUDENT,

Whether you study abroad in the USA, picuresque France or beautiful Italy, your exchange will be a transformative experience. You’ll Learn for Life and you’ll learn so much – a different culture, possibly a new language, a unique view of the world. You’ll make lasting connections with your host family and new friends. You’ll return home with greater confidence, a global perspective and plenty of valuable skills that will set you up for personal, academic and career success.

To ensure this once-in-a-lifetime experience fulfills your needs and goals, it’s important to choose the right exchange organisation. Southern Cross Cultural Exchange has had the privilege of sending thousands of students on successful high school exchanges in different parts of the world. We offer many advantages that set us apart in international education:

• High school exchange is all we do. Southern Cross

Cultural Exchange is part of the Educatius Group, the largest organisation in the world focused on just two things: high school exchanges and you. This unique, targeted focus has allowed us to build industry-leading expertise in high school exchange programs.

• One Team Across the Globe working just for you. The best parts of a high school exchange – like the independence and exposure to new things – can also be challenging at times. As a Southern Cross Cultrual Exchange student you’ll be supported in every stage by our One Team Across the Globe, at home and while you’re away.

• Personal and dedicated service. Our team will take the time to explain our extensive portfolio of destination countries and program types, and help you choose the best fit for you. Our team is always here for you both at home and in your host country.

• The best preparation. We set our students up for success right from the start, with our pre-departure orientation, our arrival orientation and often also an optional Soft Landing

Camp in the host country (additional cost).

• A positive difference in the world. When you go on exchange with Southern Cross Cultrual Exchange, you become part of an organisation committed to doing good in the world, whether that means sponsoring children’s education in the Gambia to planting trees to offset carbon from our flights.

These are just some of the reasons why 95% of our alumni and parents have said they would recommend Southern Cross Cultrual Exchange to other students looking to go on a high school exchange. We hope to enjoy the privilege of sending you on your high school exchange, but above all we wish you the best for the exciting journey ahead of you. Get ready to Learn for Life. It will truly change your future.
