AYA STUDENTS ARE OF THE HIGHEST CALIBER

You will be finding host families for AYA students who are carefully screened for grade point average, English ability and maturity. AYA students must:

  • have at least three years of English instruction in order to be eligible for the AYA program
  • write a detailed essay introducing themselves and explaining why they'd like to spend five or 10 months in the United States
  • demonstrate the emotional stability and level of maturity necessary for a successful exchange experience in the United States
  • follow a specific curriculum of study in their United States high school
  • arrive with their own health insurance and spending money

Since the AYA program is an academic exchange, students must adhere to our rules or risk being disqualified from the program and sent home.
