FLEX Global Exchange 2027–2028: International High School Students Could Spend a School Year in the USA with an American Host Family

Overview

The FLEX Global exchange programme offers an opportunity for international high school students to spend the 2027–2028 academic year in the United States. The initiative focuses on cultural exchange, enabling participants to live with an American host family and attend a local high school.

Students experience everyday community life and American culture firsthand while sharing their own traditions with their host families and peers. The programme is designed to help participants develop independence, strengthen leadership abilities, and build international connections that extend beyond the exchange period.

Who can apply

The programme is open to international high school students. However, eligibility requirements vary depending on the applicant's country of citizenship or residence.

Prospective participants must meet country-specific criteria, which may cover eligible age ranges, school grade requirements, citizenship or residency status, academic performance, and English-language proficiency. Meeting the general student description does not automatically guarantee eligibility, and applicants must verify all specific conditions for their home country.

How to apply

Interested individuals must check the official programme information to identify the contact organisation responsible for applications in their specific country.

Applicants should visit the official website to review country-specific eligibility guidelines, find the relevant local contact, and understand the required documents and submission procedures. All applications must be submitted through the authorised channel for each participating country.
