Foreign Links Around the Globe (FLAG) International

Mission: To combine the experience, reliability and reputation of a nationally recognized and fully accredited educational organization with the “personal touch” and individual care of a small agency.

Foreign Links Around the Globe (FLAG) is a U.S. based nonprofit international exchange organization with over three decades of history in successfully managing the responsibilities of being a U.S. State Department designated sponsor. Since 1989, FLAG has been dedicated to providing high-quality international exchange experiences that transform the lives of high school students, host families and communities throughout the world. More than 6,500 students and families have been touched by FLAG experience throughout the years.

Each year, FLAG hosts over 500 students from more than 25 countries from around the world who want to live and learn in the U.S. There are no numbers at FLAG, only names and faces. FLAG is a “small-by-design” organization that promises a personalized approach offering a variety of short-term and full semester/year opportunities for both American and international students. Even as the organization continues to grow, our approach to being small-by-design will never change!
