This special program promotes international education directly into the classrooms; a class field trip without leaving the classroom.

We have all heard of exchange students, but school exchange is an up in-coming trend for schools abroad to bring a group of their own students into American schools and classrooms.


Both schools abroad and local schools in Orange county/Los Angeles area have the delightful opportunity to become exposed to each other during their academic daily routine. The International group has the privilege to observe their American peers during classroom hours; lunches breaks, and learn about how American schools operate with first person observation.


Groups from abroad get to enhance their English language skills beyond basic ESL (English as a second language) courses, but real direct language emersion. In exchange, the international group will educate local students of their own culture, language, and overall way of life as a young adult from their homeland.


ESL (English Class)

FOA’s ESL classes are taught by very entertaining teachers who are fully experienced with our foreign students. They use original material for their curriculum, which combines the awareness of the student’s length of stay, age, and English levels. From this knowledge that will use more of a participatory structure of teaching rather than just a standard lecture style by designing their own texts from contemporary topics. Example would be today’s American pop singers, films, music, and actors.


Visit Our Local Schools

Students will be able to visit our local schools in Orange county/Los Angeles area, and have the delightful opportunity to become exposed to each other during their academic daily routine in class. The schools range from elementary, middle school, and high school. The International group has the privilege to observe their American peers during classroom hours; lunches breaks, and learn about how American schools operate with first person observation.


Enjoy Our Fun Adventures

California is known for it’s top attractions and theme parks, which makes it one of the top travel destinations in the world, and the perfect place to learn English. Students will enjoy the experience of visiting attractions like Disneyland, Universal Studios, and our beautiful beaches.
