student exchange
Explanation:
Ich glaube hier ist einfach ein Schüleraustausch gemeint. Meiner Meinung nach beinhaltet dies auch, dass der "ausgetauschte" Schüler dann in dem jeweilig anderen Land auch die Schule besucht.

agree  Lancashireman: Yes. It doesn't have to be directly reciprocal, i.e. one-to-one. The student exchange scheme/programme as a whole tends to balance the numbers out.

Explanation:
I presume the student would be a paying guest with a family for a year and would attend the local high school and so I think that is the best way of putting it.
