Forte International Exchange Association is a non-profit organization that brings Asian high school students ages 15-18 to the United States to participate in and academic and cultural exchange with and American host family, school, and community. This exchange allows students to have a better understanding of American life in regards to family and community and gives the exchange student, as well as the American students, a chance to learn first-hand about other cultures. In the past we have placed students with host families who have adopted from Asian countries. Host families and their children really enjoy the opportunity to learn first-hand about another culture while sharing their own culture with the student.
