INTERNATIONAL FELLOWSHIP INC.

Student Exchange Program

International Fellowship, Inc. is a non-profit organization that was established in 1952. We provide exchange student opportunities for secondary school students who want to explore life in a foreign land, discover its culture, traditions, and language. The exchange student program offered by International Fellowship aims to open worlds of adventure and understanding for young people. To accomplish this we offer various student exchange programs where students can learn firsthand about the different places and people of the world.

The programs come in two options, a 6-month semester or a 10-month academic year (with a 12-month calendar year program available exclusively to South Korea). When choosing a destination and length of stay, considerations such as language preference, cultural interests, and financial resources are taken into account, with fluency in the country's language recommended. International Fellowship provides orientations to help students and host families prepare for a fascinating learning experience.
