About us

Our Student Exchange Program

Global Horizons distinguishes itself through its unique specialization in the F1-Visa program, which primarily focuses on private and boarding schools in the USA. Our approach provides students and parents with greater flexibility and choice. This specialization allows for placements that align precisely with each student’s unique hobbies, interests, and their parents’ preferences. We work closely with a wide range of educational institutions and host families to ensure that the student’s stay is an enriching and unforgettable experience.

Our host families: your second home

Our main goal is for each student to have a happy and successful time in the U.S. and to develop lifelong friendships. Many students call it their second home… their second family. We work hard to help you achieve this through the good and challenging times of studying abroad.

In coordination with the school and a GH USA Local Coordinator, we will find the perfect host family for you. Loving people will welcome you at the airport with open arms and give you a home from day one. You will experience American everyday life in all its facets, get to know relatives and friends, take part in vacation trips (when agreeable and pre-determined), and celebrate American family festivities and traditions. Imagine how many stories you will write together with your host family! A true friendship for life… a second home… a second family.
