Kwalikum Secondary has been sending KSS students to Japan for long term exchanges since 1996. This is a life changing experience for the right students. To qualify for the exchange, students must be studying Japanese at KSS. They must also have a good attendance and behavior record, and a solid academic record. The most important qualification is a positive and friendly attitude. At this time we have two ways of getting KSS students to Japan: Suzuka Secondary - KSS Sister School in Japan Suzuka Secondary is located in Suzuka City in Mie Prefecture (Google Map).We have been exchanging students with Suzuka for 3 month homestays. since 2004. Every year we try to send two KSS students for a three month exchange for the months of May, June and July. A longer stay is possible. Their is no tuition fee for this program, but students must pay a homestay, commuting costs to and from school and air fare to and from Japan. For more information contact Brad Wilson at KSS bwilson@sd69.bc.ca Global Partners International KSS works with Global Partners International to bring students from Japan to KSS and KSS students to Japan. GPI is a non-profit organization. We have sent a few of our students to Japan through GPI and have been very happy with their professional and caring attitude. GPI does offer scholarships to qualified students. Please contact Mr. Scott Aalgaard, Senior Longterm Program Manager at GPI.
