Independent admissions
Students from countries where AYA does not currently have
a partner can apply through AYA's
Independent admissions program. These students must find their
own host family and obtain an acceptance letter from a local high
school. If AYA has (or can hire) a Local Coordinator close to the
host family, AYA welcomes the student's application. The same application
procedures apply. For further information on independent admissions,
call 1-800-322-4678.
