THINKING ABOUT HOSTING A FOREIGN EXCHANGE STUDENT?

High school students from all over the world have decided to study in the United States of America. Pan Atlantic Foundation is here to help make those dreams come true. Pan Atlantic works with overseas partners who submit student applications for review. Students must meet a minimum GPA and English proficiency score before being accepted. Once students have been accepted into the High School Exchange Program here at PAF, their profiles are shared with area representatives who then work with wonderful families from across the US to help find a match.
