The Long-Term Exchange Program (LTEP) sends students abroad for 10–11 months to attend school and live with host families in one of 25+ countries — from Japan and Germany to Brazil and France. It’s a $25,000 USD program; participants pay a global fee of approximately $12,000 CAD, which covers round-trip airfare, comprehensive travel insurance, accommodations, meals, and a monthly allowance.
Who’s eligible:
Students aged 15.5–18 who demonstrate leadership, adaptability, and openness to new experiences — and who have not yet graduated high school.
Key dates:
· Applications open now at rye5020.org
· Applications close in early October
· Online information sessions for students and families are running throughout September — details and registration are under the Events section at rye5020.org
· District-level interviews take place in December in Victoria.
