Does anyone know what I would need to do to go to school in Japan for the summer of 2007, or know a good program for high school students? I really want to go with my friend/s next summer if they can, but I have no idea where to start. Links and info would be helpful. Thanks. I'd really like to know, lol, don't mean to push but I don't think I'll get a response once this gets to the _th page. I go to school in southern California, I want to go to Tokyo, I'm in 11th grade, and I want to go in the summer, which begins in the middle of June and ends in the middle of August. Oh, and I just want to go for the summer, probably to learn the language, and I would need dorms.

It might be tough to go directly into a Japanese HS. Basically you need to be a resident and living in Japan. If I understand correctly, it sounds like you would like to try to learn Japan and visit Japan through some sort of learning abroad program. Try checking with your HS for homestay programs. You may have to do some deep searching but there are such programs. Many years ago I worked for homestay programs for Japanese kids that came to the US to learn and practice English.

Can you rephrase the question, and add where you are coming from, and which area you want to go to? Plus which month, I will help you answer if I have the above mentioned information!

From mid July to end August, HS in Japan goes into summer holiday, and end June to early July is an exam season. That means there will be very few lessons during your stay. Practically I am afraid there is no way if your time is limited such period. Should you consider one year stay, the following links might be a help. http://www.academicyear.org/outbound/index.asp http://www.aifs.org (note: They do not have Japan as a destination but you can ask them)

A few organisations can send you on exchange for your summer. AFS, YFU etc. It costs quite alot for such a short time but I've lived in Japan and the experience is well worth the money. youthforunderstanding.org afs.org good luck
