The Council on Standards for International
Educational Travel (CSIET), in partnership with
the secondary-school community, has developed
the Model School Policy to assist American
schools in the process of administering
successful international student exchange
programs. CSIET, a national non-profit
foundation, is dedicated to promoting quality
international youth exchanges that enrich local
high school communities. The CSIET Model School
Program Policy was developed with valuable input
from individual high school administrators,
exchange program managers, and national advocates
for youth exchange. These suggested guiding
principles provide a foundation for local school
policies and encourage every U.S. school to
engage in international youth exchange programs.
