F-1 High School Study Abroad in the USA

Do you dream of football, prom and homeroom? International students can have the real American high school experience with Quest! Our F-1 visa program is a simple way for students to spend 1-3 months, a semester or academic year in the United States. We provide over 120 private and public school options all throughout the nation. Quest works closely with students to identify their school preferences and education goals, in order to make informed school recommendations and placements that best match the applicant's qualifications. Students live with carefully selected and screened host families, and are supported by a Quest Local Coordinator, who serves as the student's liaison throughout their program. Fees include host family accommodations and meals, school tuition, application fees, medical insurance and Local Coordinator supervision. Students can choose to enroll starting either the Fall or Spring semester and Quest guarantees placement for qualifying applicants. Students are offered the opportunity to choose their placement location and many other options such as extracurricular activities, ESL support, AP classes, and sports, which are not available in the J-1 visa program. Students who enroll in this program will be immersed in the American culture, and by doing so, become fluent in English, gain a new family and friends, benefit their local community by representing their home country, and return home with an unforgettable experience!

Students have the ability to choose which school they apply to in this program. Whether it's a private, public, boarding or charter school, students are able to review their options, and select their top 3 schools based off of which schools sound most appealing and which they are qualified to apply to. Each school has a unique set of offerings, which our knowledgable team uses to advise students on school choices. Quest Exchange takes pride in offering individualized attention to each student, making their application and program experience seamless from start to finish.
