WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT?

SERVING TEENAGERS AND THEIR FAMILIES SINCE 1994

APEX Group is the most demanding student travel organization from France.

Our mission is to provide authentic experiences of American life and culture to our students.

This is why we organize placement in American summer camps and immersion programs in American families since 1994 for hundreds of French teenagers every summer.

We are a team of 18 professionals spread across our European offices in Paris and Milan.

We also have an office in Los Angeles and we are growing our network of local coordinators to broaden our students options.

WHY CREATING GUESTBOOK?

We acknowledge that hosting an International student can be both rewarding and challenging.  And so is travelling to America for a European teenager...

So we decided to work on improving the matching between the American family and its student.

We worked on reducing the stress associated to the process: We believe that a family should choose the teenager that will join her home and not  third party at the last minute.

So we decided to change standard practices and put the host family in the center of the process

WHAT IS DIFFERENT WITH GUESTBOOK?

The main difference is that Guestbook uses the most advanced technology to serve our Host families:

  • The American family decides when and for how long she hosts. We provide you with an electronic calendar that you update when your family agenda changes or your holidays organized.
  • The American family receives applications from the students and then selects the students that will join the household. Our families are never harassed at the last minute.

ARE MY DATA SAFE?

Guestbook is a private password-protected platform, only students that have booked their programs with a downpayment will have access to the family database.

Your data will never be available on the Internet, nor sold to 3rd parties.
