How can I get into a foreign exchange program to Japan? -

I would love to go to Japan and go to school there, but my folks wouldn t let me move there. So, I m thinking something on the lines of Foreign Exchange. What are the requirements and how do I get into it? I am in love with the Japanese culture and am DYING to go! It would be a blast! Would I HAVE to learn fluent Japanese before I went?

Some of these homestay programs may be available for you. http://www5a.biglobe.ne.jp/~eil/incoming... http://www.ppf.gr.jp/eg/ppf/index.html http://www.homestayweb.com/index.html http://home.att.ne.jp/orange/star/homest... If you are interested in studying Japanese while staying with a Japanese family, Japan Studies in Nagasaki is a program that you can join. http://www.nagasaki-gaigo.ac.jp/jasin/ There are essential informations you need to know while you are staying in Japan. When you visit a Japanese family, it would be good for you to know what to do before hand. Just don t be nervous and enjoy your experience.

For the person who said that you have to repeat your year again, it is VERY rarely the case, and if it is the case it is the school who requires that, not the program. So talk to your school about that. Here are a few programs if your school does not have an exchange program set up. Rotary http://www.rotary.org/en/Pages/ridefault... AFS http://www.usa.afs.org/usa_en/home EF http://www.ef.com/?newCountry=true Just research it on google and there will probably be some posters up around your school. Good luck.

Most foreign exchange programs are set up between schools. So you ll have to check with your school. However odds are it doesn t have an exchange program with Japan, then you re kind out of luck if you re still in grade school.

I know there are some programs out there for high school students. But honestly unless your willing to pay over 6,000 dollars and have to repeat a year in high school its not worth it. I would wait until collage and you could work your class schedule around the whole exchange. i also wanted to go to school in japan when I m 16... but i also want to graduate with my class.
