In the contemporary world education is very important and many people are interested in the obtaining of the university degree. Those people who have higher education have usually better opportunities on the labor market and have higher level of incomes. But before earning the university degree the people have to receive diploma of the high school. There are two methods of studying in the high school in the United States: to attend the school which is situated in the nearest location and participate in the school exchange programs. To receive high school education in this way the students must have good level of knowledge in English and good communicating skills.

Those students who choose the first way and have a desire to arrange their own place of studying must have relative which they can live with during the studying in the high school. Students from abroad have to pay the tuition fee even if they attend public schools. Usually these students cover studying expenses themselves without applying for the financial aid. Those people who have a desire to receive all essential information about the high schools in the US and application process have to contact department of education of the particular state. The numbers of all departments can be received from the Educational Advisory Service of US.

The second way of studying is also available. There are several types of studying exchange programs: from summer exchange to semester and year programs. Some of them are “homestay”. It means that the students live in the family in the US. Usually the education is self funded and the students seldom apply for the financial aid. Full list of the sponsors and institution which provide financial aid programs for the student’s exchange can be received on the website of Secondary School Exchange Programs.
