Overseas exchange programs for NT students

The overseas student exchange program provides your child with the opportunity to attend high school in another country and a student from another country to study in the Northern Territory under similar conditions.

How the program works

Your child will be placed with a host family and attend a local school in the country of their choice.

You can choose how long your child participates, but it must be for a minimum of 3 months.
