The students are sponsored by ASSE, an organization founded by the Swedish Ministry of Education. The exchange students arrive from their home country shortly before school begins and return at the end of the school year. Each student is fully insured, brings his or her own spending money and expects to bear his or her share of the household responsibilities, as well as being included in normal family activities and lifestyles, a spokesman for the program said. ASSE is also seeking local high school students to become exchange students abroad. Students should be between 15 and 18 and interested in living with a host family, attending school and learning about the lands and people of Europe, Asia, South America, Canada (French or English speaking), Australia or New Zealand. For more information, please contact ASSE’s local representative Jay Turner at (908) 364-7884 or (800) 677-2773. A WATCHUNG COMMUNICATIONS, INC.
