Exchange students +F 1 public high school
Generally speaking, American public high schools will not recruit international students, but the American government will carry out many international exchange programs and allow non-American students to study in American public high schools 1 year.
Among them, there are two programs open to students in China, one is an international exchange program, and the other is an American F 1 public high school program. Students study for 1 year.
For China students, low-cost study in American high schools can be realized through these two programs.
But these two projects add up to only two years. How can we achieve the goal of studying and living in the United States for a long time?
First of all, China students can apply for the American high school exchange program in the second year of high school and attend the American public high school grade 1 1. At this time, students will hold the American J- 1 visa (academic exchange visa) and study American high school courses in American public high schools 1 year, and the credits obtained can be retained in the United States.
This exchange student program is an academic exchange program. The student holds an academic exchange visa and is not in an American high school.
Although students have high school credits, students who directly participate in American exchange students in grade 12 cannot obtain American high school diplomas and apply for American universities because of their school status. Therefore, it is the best time to choose an American exchange student in grade 1 1 to connect with another study abroad program in American public high schools-F1public high school program.
Students who completed the exchange program in the United States in 1/grade and1year can go back to China to apply for visa transfer, change their J- 1 visa to F- 1 student visa, participate in the American public high school program in F 1, and attend the American public high school program in/kloc-0.
The American F 1 public high school program is to study in American public high schools by means of transfer.
American high school credits obtained in the exchange program will also be transferred to American public high schools in the F 1 public high school program. After the completion of the F 1 public high school project, students can continue to apply for American universities with the F- 1 visa.
F- 1 visa is an American student visa, and there is no specific time limit. Just need to be notarized on time as a student. One year of public high schools in F- 1 comes from the time limit of the project itself, so it is the best time to choose the last year of high school to participate in the project.
It is cheaper to participate in American high school exchange program and F 1 public high school program than private public ones. In host families, American high school exchange students adopt voluntary families, and tuition fees do not need to be paid to host families.
The host families of the exchange student program and the F 1 public high school program are strictly selected by the US government, and the safety of students can be guaranteed.
Studying and living in the United States, choosing exchange students in grade 1 1 in the United States, and then docking with the public high school program in F 1 in the United States, is a good plan to save money for those students who are not very well off.

Application conditions
1. Financial proof: High school students applying for exchange should pay attention to living within their means. A year abroad is also a big expense.
2. Three letters of recommendation from school teachers.
3. Personal statement (essay):
Choose a theme, show your personal style, be humorous and sincere, and express the meaning of adapting to different cultures. Then, it shows how you will benefit other students if you become a member of the school.
4. Language test:
Have certain listening, speaking, reading and writing skills. Pass the American SLEP English test with a score of 46 or above.
5. High school transcripts: there must be two copies in Chinese and English, stamped with the official seal of the school.
6. Middle school students who have reached the age of 15- 18 in Grade Three, Grade One and Grade Two have never participated in the exchange program, and their academic performance in the last three years is moderate (above 70 points). If they pass the SLEP exam (above 45 points) and the online English interview, they can sign up for the exchange program in the United States.
7. Good self-care.
In a strange country, American exchange students not only study and live on campus, but also solve trivial things in daily life, such as renting a house, paying various fees, buying food, cooking and washing clothes.
If you don't have basic common sense and exercise before going abroad, you can't cope with the sudden "trivial" troubles, which will easily cause anxiety and psychological troubles and have a negative impact on normal life and study.
