ONE YEAR/
SEMESTER PROGRAMS (United States)
High School students (age 15-18) are given the opportunity to live and study
for a period of up to one year in the United States. An exchange student is
enrolled into American public school, lives with an American host family, and
becomes a part of the local community, providing a unique platform for
personal growth. Both the one year and semester programs can be extremely
challenging and requires a strong willingness on the part of the student to
adapt to a new environment; however, former exchange students will often note
that their exchange year was life changing.
BENEFITS
As an exchange student, one gets
to experience real American culture. Students learn the art of communication,
adaptability, critical thinking, and problem solving, each factors necessary
for future success. Exchange students have an added maturity, leadership
skills, and international experience desired by college admission boards and
future employers. An exchange student serves as a ‘Student Ambassador,’
representing their family, community, school, and nation.

Naturally, parents (anywhere in the world) will worry for the safety and
security of their son/daughter. The truth is that safety comes FIRST. While
studying in the United States, the student has a safety network of the host
family, a local community coordinator, the school, as well as the Taj Global
Understanding. At every step of the way, students are guided through their
cultural adjustments and any problems they may face. Students are expected to
follow the rules and regulations of the United States.
