Please accept the Term and Conditions
All participating students in academic programs, and their parents or guardians must read, understand and abide the following rules. The High School Program is based on the daily life of a host family of a concrete community or school. They are not holiday programs. The purpose for a Cultural Interchange is to understand and adapt voluntarily, as well as appreciate and understand the way of life in a new culture, community and family, as these can differ greatly from that of the students. Students on this program are ambassadors for their countries and must ensure they portray their countries positively.
The undersigned of this page and its Spanish translation understand and agree to abide by the following conditions of the program:
