International Student Exchange - Bayou Region

International Student Exchange (ISE) is a proud sponsor of the J-1 Secondary School Visa. This visa program was introduced after the world wars to prevent such conflicts from arising in the future. Since 1982, we have remained dedicated to encouraging positive relations between people from different cultures through high school exchange programs. Our mission can be broken down into two distinct goals: Educating Tomorrow’s Leaders and Breaking Down the Barriers to Friendship

We provide a twelve-month, ten-month, first-semester, or second-semester high school exchange program for foreign students.

After students have been carefully screened for English language proficiency, grades, and overall suitability for the program, we provide placement in public, or upon written request, private high schools.

While on our program, exchange students live with a volunteer host family and attend their local high school. Each student is assigned a personal ISE representative to provide supervision and assistance during their stay.

• Depending on individual school schedules, actual program duration may vary.
