Finding the Right Exchange Student

Thanks to a rigorous selection process, each year PAX admits hundreds of truly impressive teens—like the alumni pictured above. So with so many great students to choose from, how do you find the right one for your family? If you're interested in a particular part of the world, that's an easy enough starting point. But why not consider what makes your family unique? Whether your family loves to hike, cook, hoop, or rock out, you're sure to find a great PAX student with similar interests!

Thumball Icebreaker

For years, orientation staff have played "thumball" as a fun icebreaker for PAX students at the NYC arrival orientation.

It's a great way to get the students warmed up and get those first nervous words out of their mouths. It's also a fun way to begin to get to know them—which is why we thought you'd be interested!
