School Resources
Today, not only parents, but governments, businesses, and industries are depending upon America’s high schools to ensure that their graduates are internationally aware and inter-culturally competent and prepared to participate effectively in today’s diverse workplace and global marketplace. The stakes are high, as our nation’s security and standing in the world are riding upon our schools’ ability to prepare students to be citizens of the world. These demands are pervasive in every sector of society and international youth exchange programs can help your school meet these challenges.
To take advantage of the benefits of having international exchange students contribute to your school community, schools only need to open their doors to hosting and consider how to support and accredit the experiences of young Americans who go abroad. If you have any questions, CSIET is here to help.
