Apply
to C-corps, Jr.
For timely placement of the exchange student, we ask teachers to
apply as soon as possible. Applications are accepted on a rolling
basis until all students are placed.
Factors considered when selecting sites for the placement of the
C-corps, Jr. Exchange students:
Host School Specific Criteria:
1.
Has an active Chinese language program with an on-site Chinese language
teacher who can:
- assist
the host family in understanding Chinese culture so that they
may understand their exchange student better
- accompany
the host family to pick up the exchange student at the nearest
commercial airport
- provide
moral support and advice regarding day-to-day concerns that may
arise
- email
TLI on a monthly basis about the adjustment process of the student
(short emails encouraged). Communication can also be conducted
by phone if problems arise.
2.
Has the ability to provide a host family that can:
- provide
moral support and advice regarding day-to-day concerns that may
arise. Living in a foreign country, even for this brief time span,
can be a lonely and intimidating experience. The host family will
share their lives with the C-corps, Jr. student. Not only will
this help the student overcome homesickness and become quickly
adapted to American life, but the student can become immersed
in American family life. The host parents become the exchange
student’s parents and, indeed, the host family becomes a
substitute family. The exchange student looks forward to being
included in family activities, including chores.
- provide
room and board for the duration of the commitment that has been
made to the host school. A C-corps, Jr. participant should have
a room of his or her own.
- arrange
some means of transportation between the host family’s home
and the host school, either school bus, walking, or bicycle.
Please
submit the School Acceptance Form and Host School Application to
confirm participation.
