2023-2024 Program
2023-2024 Host and Student Exchange Program
We are excited to restart our Host Family and Student Exchange Program for this year!!! The City of Cupertino will be welcoming student delegates,7th, 8th, 9th,10th,11th and 12th graders from Hsinchu, Taiwan as a part of its annual student exchange program. The delegations, along with 3 chaperons, are scheduled to visit Cupertino from October 28 and November 5, 2023. These students will have the opportunity to experience American Culture, explore our community and attend local schools. During Spring Break of April 2024 we will be sending our student delegation to Hsinchu so our students have the chance to explore and learn about Taiwanese culture and education system.
To enhance each student’s cultural experience, the Cupertino-Hsinchu Sister City Association (CHSCA), with the support of the City of Cupertino, Cupertino Union School District and Fremont Union High School District, invites interested families to participate in this event as hosts to these students. One visiting student will be assigned to each home. While the exchange students will mostly attend organized activities during the week, the host families will have opportunities to arrange activities with the students during the week and weekends. Cupertino Union School District and Fremont Union High School District students who host will also have the opportunity to travel to Hsinchu, Taiwan during Spring Break of April 2024 as part of our student delegation.
All interested families who have at least one child currently in grades 7-12 in either CUSD or FUHSD are invited to join the 2023-2024 Host and Exchange Program Information Meeting to learn more about our student host and exchange program for the year.
Students who host Hsinchu students in October 2023 will be eligible to be an exchange student for our April 13th to 23rd, 2024 trip to Hsinchu. Students who are not selected to host in October 2023 will be considered for the student exchange in April 2024 and if selected to go, will host in October 2024.
