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.

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
Become a host family
