Spend
a school year in
Mexico, a land of
cordial hospitality
with a strong sense
of family, community
and heritage. As
an ASSE exchange
student to Mexico,
you may experience
life in one of its
traditional, colonial
towns or quaint
villages. While
attending high school,
you will soon make
friends and get
to know the warmth
and generosity of
the Mexican people.
As you become proficient
in Spanish, you
will enjoy chatting
with your ASSE host
family over meals.
In addition to flavourful
cuisine, Mexico
is proud of its
cultural dances
which are an important
link to the country's
heritage. Youngsters
learn such dances
and perform on special
occasions with pride.
As a member of your
host family, you
too may celebrate
local festivals
with your host family
in traditional costume.

The
rich, Mexican
culture encompasses
both Spanish heritage
and folklore as
well as a history
that stretches
back many centuries
to the Mayan and
Aztec civilizations.
Learn about the
uniqueness of
each state, such
as Oaxaca with
its beautiful
folk art. As you
master Spanish,
you will learn
about Mexico City,
the capital and
historic home
of North America's
only king and
queen! As an exchange
student in Mexico,
the learning opportunities
are as numerous
as the country
is varied.
A year spent in
this enchanting
land and culture
is sure to change
your perspective
on life, family
and the world.
