About WISE

The Foundation for Worldwide International Student Exchange (WISE) specializes in academic programs and homestays for Asian, European, and South American student travelers. A Washington state based organization, WISE is staffed by dedicated and enthusiastic professionals with many years of experience in the academic and homestay field. We support participants in all phases of the experience to ensure an "international adventure that will be remembered for years to come". Our team is headed by professionals in the fields of education, business and sports. As former participants, we bring firsthand experience in the homestay field and provide a realistic experience for young people from around the world.

The goal of WISE is to promote world peace and understanding through cultural exchanges and by establishing global friendships.

WISE is a rapidly growing organization offering participants a broad choice of homestay locations. These include Los Angeles, San Francisco, Fresno, California; Seattle, Tacoma and Bellingham, Washington, Portland, Oregon; Boston, Masachusetts; Maine; New Hampshire; Mississippi; Arizona; Memphis and Nashville, Tennessee; and Orlando, Florida.
