    Japan Homestay Cultural Exchange

    In 2027, our students and community will participate in our second biannual cultural exchange with Yamate-Gakuin Highschool in Yokohama Japan. The exchange will involve two-week homestay visits both here and in Japan.

    In April, Japanese students will visit our Cambridge community and will be placed with local families who volunteer to host. While here, our Japanese guests will attend classes, participate in in-school activities, and explore Alpharetta/Milton and Atanta with their hosts.

    Then in June 2027 our students will make a return visit to Japan. There our students will reunite with the Japanese students they hosted and stay with their families in Yokohama. In the Yokohama-Tokyo area our students and their hosts will experience the following:

    • Sumida River Cruise
    • Asakusa and the Sensō-ji temple
    • Owakudani
    • Ashinoko Lake and the Hakone Shrine
    • Odawara Castle
    • Tokyo DisneySea
    • Explore Yokohama
    • More...

    The cultural homestay exchange allows students the opportunity to experience daily life in different cultures. But it also allows students and families to share their cultures with others. This unique arrangement promotes cross-cultural language acquisition and enriching personal relationships that can last a lifetime.

    We are now taking applications for participation as hosts and travelers for our 2027 cultural exchange program! Apply below:
