Be a high school exchange student in Japan!

International students are hosted by a volunteer Japanese host family who opens its home and heart to a student coming from abroad, expecting a real cultural exchange. This program is challenging: strong motivation, flexibility, empathy, and open-mindedness are absolute prerequisites. The cultural differences between our high school exchange students and their local community are for sure enriching but require adaptation and time. Exchange students need to fully immerse in their program and local life and disconnect from their home country and culture to make the most of their experience in Japan.

Our student exchange in Japan runs either from March to December or from August to July. There is no possibility of coming for a shorter period.
Japanese schools expect the high school exchange student to integrate with his/her Japanese classmates and do his/her best to improve his/her Japanese skills. That being said, international students should not expect to receive a transcript of grades at the end of their school year; they are awarded a certificate of attendance.

Within this student exchange in Japan, our students are linked to a local language club and attend there regular meetings and workshops with their host family. These activities are an important part of this High School exchange program in Japan and a great opportunity to meet with other Japanese teenagers and families and share great moments all together.
