Good study abroad program?

Question

I want to study abroad in Japan, what are some good, safe programs for high schoolers? I only want to do it for a semester, if possible. And I don't want to spend more than $6,000.

Answer 1

If you want to do this for under $6,000 your only real viable option without scholarships is Rotary Youth Exchange.

You might also check with Youth for Understanding, s they have many scholarship programs to Japan. You may qualify for one.

Both are top quality programs.

Answer 2

It's very difficult to spend a semester in another country for so little money. So although this program isn't at the price you would like, I figure I'd at least show you in case you can earn more for a trip.

I know for a fact that this group is very good at makign sure students are settled in and that their host families are well picked. I did a summer program with them last year and I couldn't have been happier with the care they provided in finding me a good host family as well as a very inviting school.

Answer 3

I'm not exactly sure if there are any programs for high schoolers for study abroad. The only programs that I've heard of start at the college level :/
