Eagle School has hosted many students for Nacel Open Door, and, as one of our recent students commented, “This year at Eagle School has been one of the best in my life!” Most of our students feel as though their new friends, host family, and teachers are now part of a large family, and many of them have a very hard time leaving at the end of the school year. A number of the students return for additional school years at Eagle after they complete the first one. Eagle School is registered in excellent standing with SEVIS (the US federal government agency that oversees all immigrant and exchange student visas), and it is authorized to offer advantages such as an F-1 renewable visa to students with J-1 visas who wish to return for additional years at the school. Eagle School will also offer the option of a US diploma to 12th grade students who qualify to graduate in their school year here. This diploma and the transcript from Eagle School bear an official apostille that is recognized in the US and in the student’s home country. Many of our undergraduate (9-11th grade) students who return to their country with this transcript and apostille do not lose the school credits they accrued while in their exchange year. We welcome you to become a part of the Eagle School international student experience! .

    INFORMATION CAPSULE Research Services Vol. 0819 Christie Blazer, Supervisor May 2009 FOREIGN EXCHANGE PROGRAMS At a Glance High school foreign exchange programs are gaining in popularity because of their ability to enhance students’ international awareness and respect for diversity in an increasingly global community. This Information Capsule summarizes the benefits of high school foreign exchange programs and reviews research conducted on their impact on students’ foreign language acquisition and personal and intercultural development. Guidelines for school districts to follow when accepting foreign exchange students or encouraging their own students to study abroad are provided. In addition, some of the more popular foreign exchange programs operating within the U.S. are briefly described. High school foreign exchange programs allow students to live and study in a country other than their own, usually for one full school year or one academic semester. Students live with a host family and attend a local school to learn another language and a new culture. The goal of most foreign exchange programs is to help enhance students’ international awareness and respect for diversity in an increasingly global community. Many programs do not require an actual exchange of individual students between different countries on a one-to-one basis. In these cases, the exchange consists of foreign students and host communities sharing their respective cultures with each other (Council on Standards for International Educational Travel, 2009; Boyd et al., 2001; Lutterman-Aguilar, 2000). No official data are available on the number of high school students participating in foreign exchange programs worldwide, although there are estimated to be tens of thousands of high school students traveling abroad on exchange programs each year (Rotary International, 2009; AFS Intercultural Programs, 2005).
