Hi! First, I'd like to really encourage you to take at least a semester or a year program -- and to a country where you will have another language! That's one of the primary benefits of an exchange program and you shouldn't miss out! Right now you are a bit young. You must be between 15-18 years for an exchange. I highly recommend going in your junior year. That way you can arrange your schedule so you can graduate on time and also have the fun of your senior year with your friends. The fact that you know before entering high school that you want to do this will be REALLY helpful! You then need to pick an exchange program. Make sure it is CSIET listed otherwise you may have trouble getting credit for your year AND non-listed programs have no oversight or recourse if something goes wrong. You can find the listing at www.csiet.org. Generally, AFS, Aspect, Rotary and YFU are all reputable and your counselor can give you a recommendation as well. For lots more information, check out http://www.exchangestudentworld.com/ That's a site written by exchange students and it covers the entire experience from application to return home. Good luck and I really hope you get to do this! EDIT: I concur with the warning about Two Worlds United. It is NOT CSIET listed and has huge problems!
