VIF's Exchange Visitor Program* teachers are selected through a rigorous multistage screening and evaluation process, ensuring that every school is presented with a highly qualified group of teachers ready to successfully impact student achievement. In fact, an exhaustive statewide study from the University of North Carolina proved our teachers' students are top performers in Reading, Math and Science.
