SIS and PAX: Partners in International Education
Attending the Homecoming dance, enjoying all-American breakfasts with their host family, dreaming in English, giving baseball a try… These are just some of the activities that SIS high school students have been up to in the U.S. for more than two decades. And for all that time(since 1995), SIS has been working together with American partner PAX – Program of Academic Exchange to make it happen!
Founded in 1990, PAX is a not-for-profit educational organization and one of a select few U.S. Department of State-designated Exchange Visitor Programs chosen to administer prestigious U.S. Government-sponsored programs.
From its offices in Seattle and the Greater New York City area and with the support of more than 300 committed volunteers and 600 welcoming high schools throughout the U.S., PAX has successfully guided more than 20,000 teenagers from over 70 countries through its Academic Year USA exchange student program. These students apply what they learn in their U.S. community to their future careers and incorporate American traditions into a new, richer, and multi-layered worldview.
Contact SIS for more information about this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and find out more about PAX.
PAX: opening doors, embracing cultures, becoming family.
