Description: The land of the rising sun will charm you with the diversity of its culture and its ancestral traditions! The Japanese educational system can be outlined as follows: 6 years in primary school, 3 years in junior high school, 3 years in senior high school and 4 years at University. The school year starts in April and finishes in March.
It is divided into three terms: April to July, September to December, January to March. There are vacations at the end of each term.

Schools in Japan can be either private or public, most are co-educational. Nowadays, in Japan, 90% of students study higher education and 30% of them will go on to University.

The high school is called Kotogakko, and 94% of students who have successfully passed the previous period called "Chugakko", keep on studying through to higher education. Class subjects are designed to last through three years and are full-time. They can be extended over four years and be part-time or include night classes.

There are two kinds of program:
- The general program (Language, Mathematics, etc.)
- The professional program (Industry, Trade, etc.)

Highlights: Our host families are chosen with great care by our local representatives and are volunteer families.

For longer periods students might be placed with two different families.
