USA F-1 inbound program scores 99.9%
Educatius, a leading organization in international high school education, is proud to announce that its USA F-1 inbound high school exchange program has been awarded certification from the Council on Standards for International Educational Travel (CSIET) for the 10th consecutive year, with a score of 99.9%. Educatius USA’s annual commitment to the CSIET review process demonstrates an unwavering dedication to providing high-quality, safe, and enriching high school exchange experiences for international students and their American host families.
An independent third-party evaluation
The CSIET certification, an independent third-party evaluation specific to international high school exchange providers in the USA, serves as a crucial benchmark for parents and students seeking high school exchange providers who adhere to standards and processes set by an independent not-for-profit organization.
Educatius has been a leader in hosting the highest number of international students on CSIET-approved F1 high school programs since 2017, reflecting the organization’s extensive experience and expertise in managing international student exchange programs.
“Receiving the CSIET certification for the 10th consecutive year is not just an honor; it reflects our dedication to the well-being of international students in our care as they develop academic achievement, personal growth and intercultural proficiency.”
Paul McLaughlin, President of Educatius USA
Going beyond the standards
As Educatius celebrated its 20th anniversary last year, the organization strives to go beyond the standards of CSIET certification in the USA. This includes the 100% Host Family Happiness Commitment and multiple layers of student support in its USA F-1 visa programs. Educatius USA’s Student Experience Team is dedicated to assisting students who may encounter academic challenges and is equipped with mental health first aid training to address escalated emotional needs.
Furthermore, Educatius has launched the comprehensive Global Youth Resilience Initiative, which includes resilience training for international students, host families, and Educatius staff in its USA high school programs, as well as in Ireland, Sweden, Spain, France, Germany, Italy, and Australia. This initiative is designed to support the personal well-being of students as they navigate the common challenges and incredible rewards of international exchange programs.
Teens who study high school abroad have an incredible opportunity to gain academic, personal, and professional advantages for their future. Educatius’ commitment to quality, safety, and comprehensive support ensures that students and host families receive the best possible support during their high school exchange program.
