Your son or daughter will be hosted by his/her matched family in another country (usually for four weeks) during the summer. Your family will reciprocate by hosting your matched international student for a similar period. Most of the time your student will travel first, but not always. For exchanges with students in countries South of the equator, we typically have a "Split Exchange."  Your son or daughter would visit them during our summer months and the International exchange student would visit here in December and January during their summer break.  Students involved in "split exchanges" may have the added bonus of auditing school for a time during their exchange.
