EF Exchange Year, part of the EF family, is a program dedicated to the promotion of international understanding through cultural exchange. Teenagers travel to another country, live as a family member in a host community and enroll in a nearby high school. Students return home with an in-depth understanding of another culture, lasting international friendships and memories to last a lifetime.
