Experience life as a teenager in Japan while you live with a Japanese host family and attend the local high school. During this academic program you will:

Experience day to day life in Japan

• The family is the foundation of Japanese society and is bound together by a strong sense of reputation, obligation, and responsibility.
• Meet Japanese teenagers in class or participating in activities such as sports, music, or other school-related clubs.
• See how the mix of Western and Japanese influences can be found across all aspects of life, including sports, fashion, and other activities.

Learn the difference between the school systems in Japan and the U.S.

• In Japan, students stay in the same room for each class and usually do not take many electives. This helps integrate students quickly into the class community.
• The Japanese school system tends to be more rigorous than its U.S. and Canadian counterparts. Rules are often a bit stricter, like requiring students to wear uniforms.
