AFX Student Exchange Information

AFX Student Exchange was started when Elisabeth Thomas, a mère de famille in Paris, France, was looking for an exchange program for her daughter, Vinciane. What she found was a host of organisations offering generic and impersonal exchange programs to many different countries. Elisabeth had a feeling that if her daughter was well matched with an Australian host family and correspondent, the benefits of the exchange would be much greater. Unable to find anything that she felt was able to provide such an experience, Elizabeth contacted her friend in Melbourne, Ben Dinning, to help her do just that. Vinciane was the first student to benefit from the care and personalised approach Elisabeth and Ben took to organising my exchange, and the demand for this service grew, with Elisabeth and Ben creating AFX as a company in 2001. For the last 15 years, AFX’s aim is to provide exchanges of the highest quality, where all families and students are treated with the same level of care as that very first exchange. AFX has grown and now offers a range of programs between Australia and France to suit many students needs, still with that same spirit of care and attention to detail that has been at the focus from the very start.
