INVEST IN YOUR CHILDREN’S
FUTURE--SEND YOUR CHILDREN TO QUALITY PRIVATE
SCHOOLS in the U.S.A.
(FROM $ 12,000 per year including ttuiion, room, board and insurance—THE AVERAGE COST IS $ 16,000
PER YEAR)
Dear Asian high school parents:
ASIAMERICA Academic & Cultural Exchange (AACE) offers high
school programs for Asian high school students,
aged 13-18, who wish to complete their secondary
education in the United States at private and parochial schools.
AACE, founded in 1975, has sent more than 10,000 Asian high
school students on one-year exchange programs
to public and private high schools in the United States, and is now accepting applicants of all nationalities to join
our private school programs.
Successful applicants enter the program in January or August
and will typically spend at least two or three
years on the program and will live with faculty
and school host families while preparing to
enter the nation's most competitive universities.
The annual cost per student, including tuition,
room and full board, remains substantially less
than if the student were to attend one of the
numerous international schools here in Asia.
AACE works closely with carefully selected private high schools
which have a reputation for academic excellence
while meeting the needs of the individual student.
Each of our private high schools meets these
goals while remaining distinctly unique. Some
schools offer English as a Second Language while
others require international students to have
a sufficient level of English proficiency upon
enrolling. There are schools for students with
special talents and needs, single-gender and
co-educational schools. Overall we have designed
a private high school program which is flexible
and diverse.
We have found that international students desire variety in
their educational opportunities and experiences.
Most public schools cannot compete with the
effective organization, clear goals, and strong
leadership found in private schools. Combined
with the presence of quality teaching and high
academic expectations, an exciting learning
environment is created.
AACE over the past 30 years has also arranged full and partial
scholarships of 30 percent or more of tuition,
room, and board for Asian high school students
who have participated in our programs in very
competitive level U.S. colleges and universities. (SEE our University Scholarship
Program)
We still offer students with excellent academic records our
one year programs to government (public) high
schools in the United States and other countries,
from $ 4,500* per year including tuition, room,
board and health/accident insurance.
