I'm not positive about the foreign student exchange program, but there is a great program for musical exchange. It's called the Rhinebeck-Rheinbach exchange program. Every two years a group of high school students will either come from Rheinbach, Germany to Rhinebeck or vice versa. The students are housed in with area families and perform choral concerts throughout the area and also go sight-seeing etc.. Two of my kids had the experience of going to Germany and we hosted students at our home on two occassions. It's a wonderful program that we enjoy here.
