Language Travel programmes providing specialised language tuition are not to be confused with long-term student exchange stays for young people aged 14 to 18, who attend public schools for a term or a whole school year in countries like the U.S., Canada, England or New Zealand and other destinations.
Long-term student exchange is the province of the DFH (Deutscher Fachverband Highschool), the association of 12 leading German organisations who, similar to FDSV members, subscribe to strict quality guidelines covering all services and aspects of exchange programmes. www.dfh.org
