My DS did the Russian exchange programme in JH3 and JH 4. I recall he applied for the exchange programme in JH3 only. There are various exchange programmes available for the kids that qualify to apply. I recall there was some selection exercise or process, not all who applied will get it.

DS went Moscow for 2 week in June, their research exchange is with a top chemistry school in Moscow and their research is supervised by russian professors. We also hosted a Russian boy in Sept when he was in JH3. In JH4, DH and I were away when the Russian boy came in Nov. There was some last minute change from sept to nov on the school side, so we cannot host them.

DS definitely enjoyed his research programme. He had a Russian professor as mentor and did some research topic that I simply did not understand. I recall one of the minsters were at the exhibition where they presented their research and that minster actually posted photos on his Facebook and commented that it was chim.....I felt better.....hehe

Thanks for sharing! Do you remember how do the students qualify to apply? Academic results? Selection tests? Science and math? Your DS research exchange experience sounded so fun and enriching

I understand from DS that only those who do Advanced Science in JH3 are eligible to apply for the Russian exchange programme with Moscow Chemical Lyceum. Those that apply will need to take a selection test. They only have 3 places a year so you will need to be among the top 3 of the selection test to get chosen.

DS definitely enjoyed his exchange programme. it has fueled his interest in Chemistry research.

Thanks Dnis_mum for sharing! 3 places a year is very little. Are there are exchange programs held in the same year too?

There are many exchange programs including the Korean one Jennifer mentioned. The Russian one is the strictest in terms of selection criteria.

Which year is your child in? He should be able to get access to all the informations of these programs once he is in JH3.
