Are you a high school student ready to explore beyond borders?
Student Exchange Australia New Zealand gives students the opportunity to live with a caring host family and attend the local high school from 2 months up to an Academic Year.
Live like a local and become immersed into the culture as you learn the language, and gain confidence, independence and valuable international experience.
Our Mission is to offer the unique experience of living, studying and working in another culture and to enable young people to develop the skills and awareness that will enhance their future potential. This isn’t just an education; it’s an unforgettable journey.
Student Exchange Australia New Zealand is here to guide you every step of the way.
Information evenings run for about an hour. This is a great way to hear all about our exchange programs, destinations, latest offers and more.
They are friendly, free and are the best way for us to address your specific questions in person. We look forward to seeing you online!
Each destination page outlines the departures, pricing and options. Learn more about program inclusions on our Money Matters page. For a destination price comparison, please click here.
Yes! We offer Early Bird Discounts & Scholarships. If you are eligible, then the discount is deducted from your final payment.
If you apply for a Short program (2-3 months) in late 2025, your caring host family comes with a guaranteed host sibling and you will attend a local private school, at no extra cost.
Your host sibling will be of a similar age (+/- 2 years). Please understand that due to the potential age difference of up 2 years, you may not be in the same school, but you will be placed in another local private school. Spots are limited, please contact our team with any questions.
What is Student Exchange? A student exchange program gives high school students the opportunity to travel to their chosen country, live with a caring host family, attend the local school and immerse into a new community.
Navigating a new environment builds confidence and independence. Learn to adapt, communicate, and thrive in diverse situations. As you uncover the world, you’ll also uncover strengths you never knew you had. The experiences you gain will shape your perspective and open doors to new possibilities.
