Is a high school student (for example a 9-11th grader) able to transfer to Japan or other countries at a young age?

That would be cool to be an exchange student! I want to be! But I'm just going into high school and in high school I'm going to be learning Japanese, Cantonese, Kanji and Korean. I'd probably be able to do that in a few years maybe. But that's only if I can find an exchange program which might be kind of hard to find.

they can cost quite a bit of money,and you have to be at least a junior for most, some offer it as an additional year sort of thing, were you go after you graduated and just go for another senior year there 3nodding

i know when I was in highschool there was one study abroad opportunity, I have no idea what the company name was or anything, but one thing they didn't do was guaruntee which country you'd get to go to. You'd list quite a few choices then hopefully get placed within those choices. A classmate of mine was placed in Sweden, which was maybe her 3rd or 4th choice. Plus she had to do an extra year of highschool. There's a guy in my japanese class and it sounds like he went through a similar program, he applied to a study abroad, Japan was somewhere on his list then he was there for a year (and then was placed directly into the 2nd year class and speaks better than all of us, gosh!)
I'm not sure if I would want to go to a Japanese highschool just because they're pretty intense, not that they would expect a foreigner to keep up with the rest of the class or even put them in class with Japanese kids, but any friends you have would be stressed out all the time. It'd be fun to find some sort of summer program or wait until college (the college environment is, generally, ALOT more laid back)

I'm actually working on that. I'm writing a letter right now to my representitive about going to work at the Japanese embassy in Washington D.C. because I have a place to stay there. I'm going to have to do a lot of research on my representitive's background though because I don't want to dive in too cold... and he is racist and will probably only send someone who is Mexican and usually children of wealthy donators to the county go.
After a couple years after that I'll apply to an exchange program and the previous intership will make me look good.
It helps me, though, that't I'm taking class and participating in kanji-a-day websites neutral
~That's just what I'm doing, but you can find other ways, I'm sure.

I remember there was a program, I think borchures got handed out during classes sometimes.. I forget the company name as well, but there were a multitude of countries, you could choose for a year or a summer (prices varied).
I really wanted to do the Japanese one of course.. but it was $1000 or so for a year (you stay with a homestay family, go to school with the uniform and everything). There was a girl on this forum who did the high school thing, and I guess maybe it was this program. I asked her about it because I really wanted to do that but now I can never have that experience. sad But I haven't seen her online gaia for a long time.
She said the only class she had with Japanese students was PE. The rest was with other kids in the program and you learned in English, because you DO have to keep up with your level of high school back home.

Oh and um.. transferring.. I think that's a bit harder.. first off you need to have family members over there.. so you either got to be half Japanese or Japanese or have relatives who can live there legally either work or they bought land there or whatever other circumstance...
There was a girl in my high school who was half Japanese, and I heard she had tried to go to Japan for high school. I heard she had a bad time getting accepted within the student body and may have been picked on for being half. She certainly didn't look a smidgen of Japanese to me, I didn't know she was half until I heard the rumor! eek
