Work Experience: US Academic Year

Academic Year Program is designated by the U.S. Department of State as an Exchange Visitor Program, and participants must obtain a J-1 exchange visa for the duration of the program. Students from more then 30 countries have the opportunity to explore the American way of life and be exposed to the culture on a daily basis, rather than see it as an ordinary tourist. Through this experience American hosts find it possible to know their guest's national identity first hand.

  • To improve your English skills with help from your American family, friends and high school;
  • To expand your vision of the world and yourselves and become more independent;
