Best three months of my life!
April 02, 2026by: Taylor Williams - United StatesThis experience has been the best most educational and formative of my life. It has changed me as a person and permanently altered my mindset for the rest of my life. If you choose to do this it will be something you never forget. You will gain memories, friends, and a new home no matter how long you stay.
Fantastic Experience!
November 26, 2018by: Megg Lindley - United StatesI am writing as a parent, since my son, Cameron, is who actually doing the exchange in England. From the get-go, Greenheart was informative, helpful, available--- for each step of the application process, for all of our questions (mine as a mom, my son's, and even the high school counselor here in the states). I was impressed with the extensive questions which were there for our security and protection, as well as for asserting the proper place, home, and school for Cameron. When he and I communicate about his experience there, it's always so interesting and so great to hear the contentedness and maturation in his voice. I cannot thank God enough for this wonderful time not just for Cameron, but for all of us as we vicariously enjoy his stay in the UK. Well done, Greenheart and Allison and Hope, our awesome reps!

Frequently Asked Questions
Will I be placed in a city like London?
It is very unlikely you will be placed in a major city. The majority of our host families live in small to medium-sized towns outside of major cities, and it is important you be open-minded to small-town life.
Can I travel on my own during the program?
England and the Netherlands are the only two Greenheart destinations in which students are permitted to travel on their own. Students must present an accurate itinerary and seek approval from their coordinator, school, and host family before traveling. If you do not wish to travel on your own, there will be opportunities to travel through the program and/or through your school.
Am I still eligible even if I have already graduated?
Yes! On a case-by-case basis, we can accept high school graduates for High School programs in Argentina, Austria, England, Netherlands, and New Zealand.
Can I choose which host family I will be placed?
No, you must be flexible about where you are placed within England. We do our best to match you with a host family that will be a great fit, and host families live throughout the country!
It's possible to stay with a family that you know and would like to host you in your program destination as long as we have a support network in their host community and there is an available host school nearby.
