For Teachers
What is the Exchange Visitor Teacher Program?
The Exchange Visitor Program allows qualified teachers from around the world to come to the United States for 3-5 years to educate students and be exposed to the culture in the U.S. This is a non-immigrant program and all exchange visitors are expected to return to their home country upon completion of the program in order to share their exchange experiences. The purpose of the program is to provide a gateway to cross-cultural experiences, professional growth, and lasting connections between school communities globally.
Our application for the 2026-27 school year is closed. Our application will re-open for the 2027-2028 school year on Dec. 1st.
