One Way Program

Immerse yourself in French Culture with your new BFF
Your idéale one way French Experience




With a range of dates and durations, this is a very flexible program. Plus, it’s one way which means you don’t have to host a French student in return.


How we choose your correspondent & host family
We know from experience that students who have good connections with their French correspondent will talk more, become more immersed in school and family life, will see greater improvements in their language skills and will sometimes even make friends for life.
That’s why we treat every student that applies to our programs as an individual with their own distinct personality and passions, and then carefully match them with the perfect French correspondent.
It’s also imperative to us that the family structure offered by French host family feels safe and supportive, and that students have their own bedroom.
We also require all adult members of the host family to provide a police check, and complete a face-to-face interview. We also conduct a visit to the host family’s home. You can read more about our child safety policy here.
Are you a vegetarian who’s allergic to les chats et les chiens? Don’t worry, diet, allergy and other health-related concerns will also be taken into consideration. Just let us know your specific requirements and we’ll find a way to make it work.

Don’t worry, you’ll still be greeted at airport by one of our representatives. If you’re thinking about travelling to see family in Europe before or after your program in France, then individual travel is your best option.

SCHOOLS
The minimum duration of the program varies depending on the Regulatory Authority overseeing it. For instance, a minimum of 28 days is required for Victoria, whereas there is no set minimum period for Queensland. In other states, the minimum duration is typically three months or one term.
ENROLMENT
Additionally, they must ensure they depart from the host country after their exchange program or visa expiration. If AFX Student Exchange deems it necessary, leave the host country earlier due to circumstances that render further participation in the program inappropriate.
VISA & INSURANCE
AFX Student Exchange is responsible for guaranteeing compliance with France's visa and health insurance requirements for outbound Australian students participating in their exchange programs. This includes consideration of any reciprocal health care agreements that Australia may have with the destination country in question.
