Compare High School Abroad Providers
A good exchange organization fits your goal, your family and the desired level of care. Compare not only prices, but also services, transparency, contact persons and experience with your desired country.
What should you pay attention to when comparing?
The best organization is the one that suits you. Therefore check:
- Variety of programs: Does the provider offer your desired country and type of school?
- Services: What is included in the price? Are there preparation meetings, follow-up care and emergency services?
- Cost: Compare the total costs including flights, insurance and school fees.
- Experiences: Read testimonials and ask about exchanging ideas with former participants.
- Service: How quickly does the organization respond to questions? How personal is the advice?

Frequently Asked Questions
How many providers should I compare?

Are the prices negotiable?
No, the program prices are usually fixed. However, there are scholarships and discounts (e.g. early bird discounts).
Can I change later?
Changing providers is difficult if you have already signed contracts. Therefore, inform yourself thoroughly beforehand.
