The Argentina Administrator Exchange Program is a short-term, mutual exchange opportunity for U.S. and Argentina school administrators that is fully funded by the Bureau of Educational Affairs (ECA), U.S. Department of State.

Argentine administrators spend three weeks with their U.S. partner during the fall and the U.S. administrators travel to Argentina the following summer. The programs are individualized through collaboration between partners and may focus on personnel administration, school systems and management, instruction, global issues and culture, curriculum development, student affairs, and/or educational policy.
Applicants should be creative, self-reliant, flexible and able to maintain excellent relationships with faculty, staff, and students in Argentina.
