Mission Statement & History

AIEP, also known as Apex International Education Partners, LLC, is registered as an international student recruitment, placement and homestay agency in 6 U.S. states and is 100% American owned and run.  Founded in 2011 and based in Watertown, CT. AIEP is also recognized annually for full “listing” compliance by CSIET (“Council on Standards for International Educational Travel”). CSIET is the gold-standard for international recruitment and homestay agencies like AIEP, and only a select amount of local agencies receive certification annually after undergoing an extensive annual audit of it’s student recruitment, placement  and management procedures. Through homestays and dormitories, AIEP currently houses F-1 middle and high school students studying in the United States and employs staff members in the U.S. and in China.

AIEP is an organization that is dedicated to recruiting international students for secondary schools, committed to the support of students to achieve their long-term education goals at top US schools while providing safe, caring, and quality host families immersing them into the American culture. We recognize the growing importance of diversity in our modern, globalized economy. We promote ourselves to 100% transparency, trust and compliance with our partnered schools and agents. We are a firm believer in giving back to the community through charitable donations and involving our students to volunteer within their communities.
