Exchanges: Anytime!: Airfare and spending money

We are currently connected to two schools: St. Peter's in Australia and Bridgehouse in South Africa. We would also like to include a school in France. The timing of exchanges is very dependent on the two students involved and is personalized for every family. As we move forward with the strategic plan these options may change or expand but if you have any interest, please reach out and have a quick conversation with me and I would be happy to give you more details.
