How would schooling work for a foreign exchange student to Brazil?

I am thinking about being a foreign exchange student to Brazil. Their seasons are the opposite of ours. Their school year begins in the middle of our school year (February) and ends in November. How does that work for us? Do we just leave in the middle of the year?How would schooling work for a foreign exchange student to Brazil?OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO?Your going to go to BRazillll???? That's awesommmeee!!!! I am toooooo!!!!!!! LOL!!! What program? When are you going???





LOL



But anyway, this is your question.... Sooooooooooooooo:



There are two ways you can do it. If you leave summer departure in July (what I am doing) than you just start in the middle of their year, spend the summer with your host family, and then go back to school at the end of vacation. They will either put you in the same grade as you were, or after vacation, they may move you up, so you can be with the same people.



The other way, is to leave in the winter- January ish. You get there, and then you start with the rest of the school... however, then that messes up two of your school years at home..,...



I suggest a summer departure. That is what most people do!



Good luck!!!

And if you decide to do it, pleeeeesaaaseee contact me! I never see anyone else who is going to Brazil!!! lol.. ummmm my email is on my profile!!!
