Experience life as an exchange student in Germany, where charming historic towns and vibrant cities like Berlin, Munich, and Cologne offer the perfect blend of old-world charm and modern energy. Germany is an advanced, welcoming country with a high standard of living—home to opera houses, theaters, lush forests, and sparkling blue lakes. Strong traditions, folk music, architectural treasures, cutting-edge technology, and modern design all coexist in perfect harmony.
As a high school exchange student, you’ll live with a carefully selected German host family, likely in a small town. Your host family will be eager to share their rich cultural history, local customs, and daily life. Germans enjoy spending time together over thoughtful conversation and good meals. Open dialogue is encouraged, and you’ll find that teens are given plenty of independence and personal responsibility.
You’ll discover why the German school system is considered one of the best in the world by actively participating in your classes. Outside the classroom, you can join a local soccer club, enjoy traditional festivals and holiday markets, or hang out with new friends—just like local German teenagers do.
