Programme Introduction
J-1, F-1 are the most traditional students exchange programmes in U.S. cultural exchange and learning programmes. The programmes provide high school learning opportunities in American for non-American students. It is because the U.S. government wants to ensure the exchange programmes have national coverage in order to achieve the actual purpose of cultural and educational exchanges, therefore each American high school is expecting exchange students to join. J-1 visa can be exempted from tuition fees of the programme, but J-1 exchange students participating in the programme are subject to follow the schools and regions arrangements by the exchange organisations.

F1 visa exchange programme is a cooperation programme by the United States Students Exchange Association and some private schools to recruit students which is the expansion of J1 visa. F1 visa provides more options and control for parents and students. The  programme has no age limit, no timeframe, just pass relevant exams, increase tuition fees to private schools, students can be arranged admission to outstanding school districts. These schools have strict ethos, high teaching quality, rather favourable tuition fees.  Participating in this programme, exchange students can enjoy all the preferential policies from the government, they can also choose areas and schools. It is quite distinctive from the perspective of management, the nature of the school and the convenience of academic sustainability. Therefore, it can meet the requirements of the students and parents as supplement of the international exchange programme.

3.Live in American families, zero distance to experience American life
The overall quality of the United States is very high. Living in regular host American families, deep into the American life, students can taste the real American culture, which will benefit the students for valuable experience. Each homestay family in the high school exchange programme undergoes a rigorous inspection and audit. Integrity, passion, discipline and a sense of responsibility are the basic conditions. Most homestay families live in the countryside, they are honest and helpful.
4.Understand the American culture quickly and establish international connections
Students and Americans live together, they can fully understand the U.S. social culture, lifestyle and ways of thinking and handling in a very short period of time. After experiencing the social culture in Western countries, students can establish the modern time concept, efficiency concept, and develop a modern lifestyle, which are conducive to the development of international talents.
5.Low-cost
U.S. Government supports the international exchange programmes, if students obtain J1 visa, they can get invitations for international cultural exchange issued by the U.S. State Department, which tuition fee is free.
The exchange of private schools (F1) is 30-40% of the official website for tuition fee and accommodation (If the official website of the tuition is USD15,000, through the exchange programme, the private school cost is only USD3,500). And exchange students in the private schools of the programme can study universities and work in the U.S. 
6.Visa 100% pass rate
Since these international exchange activities are supported by government support and exchange students are government-supported programme which has record at all embassies, so obtain visa is easier while the general study visa is relatively low.  Visa interview pass rate of TLI students (J class and F class) is 100%.
7.Safe and reliable
International Student Exchange Programme has been developed for almost 60 years, it is very perfect in all aspects, and is non-profit government programme, direct support from the state government of United States, and protected by U.S. federal law. We follow the law to arrange Chinese students living in reliable homestay families, selecting excellent schools and providing comprehensive medical insurance, accident insurance, etc. When students arrive in the United States, they will be taken care of by the carefully selected homestay families, and guided by the host parents in study personally by American educational approach. Therefore, parents need not worry about their children’s living and study in U.S.
