I want to student exchange to Japan- from Canada?

Question

i am 14 years old and wanting to exchange for grade 9! is that possible ? any website or links to places that can help me would be great, thanx!

Answer 1

Okay so I would say wait until you're a Junior in High School, DON'T go your freshman year! The majority of exchange students go when the are 16/17 or a Junior. I would highly recommend going through AFS they have 60 years of experience in intercultural exchanges and have a great support system! I assume that you're looking at going for a full year. It costs about 7000 not including spending money but you can apply for scholarships and they have a fundraising help site.

Good Luck!
