Overseas Year Programs (2009-10): Participants will be enrolled in integrated courses at local secondary schools, and take part in various learning and personal development activities. Their accommodation during this period will be taken care of by local receiving families who have satisfied a stringent screening process, thus enabling them to integrate into the foreign culture through their school, family and social life. Participants who pass their interviews will leave for the exchange country between July and September each year, and return to Hong Kong the following June to July.
