About Us

BEE was established in 1992 as a private, nonprofit high school exchange program. BEE’s purpose is to bring students from Central Asia into the US to study for a school year in Midwestern high schools and to send students from the US to study in former Soviet republics.

Since 1992, over a hundred students have participated in the BEE program including several Americans who studied in Russia.

Our focus is education.

BEE provides opportunity for students to study business, free market system, American culture, and to receive hands-on training in cross cultures. Living with an American host family, they also learn the friendly and sharing lifestyle of the Midwest.

Bee’s Goals are to:

  • Provide a first class education opportunity
  • Assist in internationalizing education in the Midwest
  • Give students and host families an enriching cultural experience.
