Read moreHi there, we recently hosted a girl exchange student from France for 10 months, which was a life changing experience for all & we are looking forward to hosting our next girl exchange student from Sweden for another 5 month adventure. Its a very exciting & rewarding time for both families involved, the friendships & connections you make last a lifetime & it feels like you gain a new family member every time you host. Cheryl, Monique & Sandra have been so amazingly supportive & helpful through out all of our exchanges. We have been hosting exchange students for over ten years & we can highly recommend it.

With SCCE, you can find your perfect program. Let us introduce all the options for you. Each of our programs is designed for you to Learn for Life, and become more independent, but with a safety net.

With our Classic program, you can make a request to be placed in Florida for an additional fee.

With our Select program in Florida, you can choose the school / district in the city you want and we have a wonderful selection of schools in Florida. Our expert staff will guide you to find your perfect match. Choosing the Select Program gives you the most control over your exchange program – and you can customise it by what you want to experience the most.
