How is the routine of the J-1 Secondary School Student?

The J-1 program for secondary school students (Secondary School Student) was created to provide an enriching educational and cultural exchange experience, allowing foreign students to experience American daily life while attending a secondary school in the United States.

It is essential that participants follow immigration rules and maintain lawful status in the country. The routine of a J-1 student is structured according to the activities of an American school, beginning with regular classes in the morning that include various subjects and promote academic and cultural development.

In the afternoon, there are extracurricular activities that facilitate social and cultural integration. Many students live with host families, which favors cultural immersion and improves adaptation to the local language and customs.

It is important to emphasize respecting immigration laws and consulting official sources, avoiding misleading promises to ensure a safe and positive experience.
