Explore the World on a High School Student Exchange

There are a few student exchange companies that operate within Ontario.
You can do a summer exchange or during the school year (e.g. 9 and 12 weeks).

Do research, make a few phone calls, and share your interest in exploring another culture/language with your parent(s).
