AFS is a non-profit international voluntary organization. Every year we host exchange students aged 15-17 from across the globe for 10 months. Exchange students will attend local secondary schools and live with local families in Hong Kong, allowing them to immerse in the culture.
Exchange students usually arrive at the end of August and depart at the end of June next year, but even if you could not commit for the whole period, we also offer short-term hosting opportunity.

Due to the coronavirus outbreak in Hong Kong, our info seminars will be hosted in the form of Facebook live.

AFS exchange students are from different parts of the world like Europe, USA, South America and Japan. They have been through the serious selection process by AFS office in their countries, showing positive and proactive attitude, passion in overseas exchange and acceptance of cultural differences. Our matching is mainly based on the interest and personality of the student, the location of host school and the requirement of host family (Usually regarding the gender of the student).
