Program Background

After the World War II, in order to strengthen cultural exchange between countries and promote international understanding, the U.S. Congress passed the 501.C.3 Act，the Act authorizes the U.S. government to fund designated non-profit organizations in the United States to organize overseas Middle and High School students to study at American public high schools for half a year to one academic year on a J-1 visa. During their studies, students live with local American host families, gaining a full understanding of American culture and experiencing American-style education, while also sharing their own country's culture with the American people.

Program Description
描述
The Academic Year Program is a non-profit government program funded by the U.S. federal government. In 1958, the U.S. Congress passed the Educational Exchange Act, designating specific non-profit educational institutions to operate this program. Every year, nearly 30,000 High School Students aged 15-17.5 from over 100 countries participated in the American exchange student program and receive special treatment from the U.S. government. In 1995, the Chinese government officially joined the program, with the U.S. Department of State registration number EVP P-3-5950. Chinese exchange students enter the U.S. on a J-1 visa, attend American Public High Schools, and live with American host families.

Student Testimonials
The phrase "Going out and seeing the world" is far more profound than it seems. Participating in the Academic Year Program not only broadened my horizons but also gave me more confidence to thrive in society. Having gained more experience and knowledge, I've become more tolerant in my interactions with others. I must say this experience was truly enjoyable and incredibly rewarding.
