Inbound Programs

Experience the US and share your culture

What is inbound exchange?

NISE offers high quality inbound exchange where international students (middle and high school age) travel to the US for a short-term visit. Each program specially designed to meet the needs of students, host families and local communities. 

Improve your English

Most NISE programs are best suited for groups who have studied English in school, and want to improve their ability to communicate orally in English.

Broaden your horizons

Students with a sincere desire to immerse themselves in American family life and culture will enjoy our programs the most.

Tailor your program

Each program can be customized according to the interests of the participants and desired program length.

Become a host family

Host an international student for three to six weeks, and bring a global perspective to your family.

School immersion

During school immersion, students live with an American family and attend an American school where they are able to practice their spoken English. Students experience firsthand what school in America is like through attending class and participating in activities. These spring and autumn programs are planned as requested by foreign partners. 

Cultural ESL

Most of our cultural ESL programs operate during the summer months when several hundred students participate in an activity-centered English course, led and organized by certified teachers and trained coordinators.
