ASSE
was established
in 1976 as the American
Scandinavian Student
Exchange by the
Swedish Government
to organize student
exchange programs
between Sweden and
the United States.
Soon Denmark, Norway
and Finland elected
to participate.
| Since
then, the program
has grown to

At
present, ASSE works
closely with the
Canadian provincial
education ministries
and is approved
by the Ministry
of Education in
New Zealand. ASSE
maintains 38 offices
in 31 countries
and accommodates
more than 30,000
high school age
students and host
families annually
in its programs
in the participating
countries.
Having
studied a foreign
language is certainly
helpful, but not
essential. Most
important is a sense
of adventure and
a serious commitment
to learning the
language and becoming
an active participant
in the family, school
and community life
of your chosen country.
It’s an experience
you will remember
and cherish for
the rest of your
life.
