How to be foreign exchange student in middle school?

Question

I want to be a foreign exchange student. The only problem is I would have to be 15 to go to Brazil (or Spain). Is there any programs for middle school?

Answer 1

There are many great programs out there. The best way to start is by looking at a study abroad magazine because it shows the different ways you can study abroad (in the summer, during school, with a family, with students, in a college/school, etc).

I can recommend two great programs.

AFS: http://www.afs.org/afs_or/home

Summer Discovery: http://www.summerdiscovery.com

Studying abroad is a great experience and I hope that you find a great program!

Answer 2

Well it depends on when you want to go, like as a summer program or for school. But I suggest going to google and searching something like "teen exchange programs in Brazil". There are many, so find one that best suits what you're loking for. Also, decide on other specifics like if you want to stay with a host family or if you want to volunteer. Good Luck!

Answer 3

Sorry to break the bad news, but you're going to have to wait until high school to be a year or semester long foreign exchange student.  

You could go on a summer tour with People to People, they have home-stays with local families, but I'm afraid thats as close as you're going to get.
