Answer 2

I think that you should talk to your school guidance counselor. I am in eighth grade too, and I wish to go to London so I can explore Oxford and get educated from there. I hope I helped.

Answer 3

wait next year and when your 14 go to ASSE.com but you need money

Answer 4

I am also looking to go to Germany for a year but i am a sophomore..unfortunatly no programs allow you to go over for a month...you also must be 16! But there is a summer program where you can go for a couple months but you need to have a year of german! here is a website that you should look through- asf.org

Hi!

Write to [e-mail] for further information about what you wish to do as http://www.daad.org is the official website to assist students who wish to study in Germany.

Answer 6

Hi!

The first thing you need to know is that, at the moment, you are too young. You must be between 15 and 18 1/2 to be an exchange student. But that's a good thing! It gives you time to take some German classes and save some money!

You need to find a program. Make sure it is CSIET listed. That means it's certified to operate in the U.S. You can find a list at www.csiet.org. Also, check with your high school counselor for a recommendation. A program is only as good as its local representatives. Generally, AFS, Aspect, Rotary and YFU are reilable everywhere.
