Exchange in Germany

Germany

A country of modern efficiencies, rich history and beautiful landscapes

You’ll be amazed by Germany’s mix of modern infrastructure, historical buildings and stunning landscapes. There’s also no shortage of things to do, like catch a football game or sample the local food. You’ll quickly learn there’s much more to German cuisine than bratwurst and strudel!

Learn for Life in Germany

As one of the world’s biggest economies, Germany is an advanced nation with a solid education system. High school classes are usually quite informal and students are encouraged to participate in classroom discussions. Lessons will be taught in German, which may be a bit challenging for you at first but your teachers will help you and you’ll soon improve.

Language skills that will open many doors

During your exchange in Germany, you’ll be immersed in the country’s culture and learn a language spoken by millions of people around the world. It’s a valuable skill that will open many doors for you as you advance on your personal, academic and career path.

Experience the Classic exchange in Germany

In Germany we offer the Classic High School program, which provides the traditional exchange experience. You’ll live with a caring host family and attend a high school near your new home. You’ll be immersed each day in a new culture and language, and share meals and other daily rituals with your host family. Throughout your entire exchange, you’ll be supported in both your home and host country by our One Team Across the Globe, who will work together to ensure you have a safe and successful exchange.

“If you’re going to come half way around the world, take every opportunity you can. This is a once in a lifetime experience that I wouldn’t have missed for the world. That first step is always the hardest but it will be worth it!“

– Jessica in Germany
