In a nutshell
FACE offers a ten-month Australia-Japan exchange program whereby a group of Australian students go to Japan to study Japanese and attend high school (the outbound program) from February to December and a group of Japanese students come to Australia to attend high school (the inbound program) from January to November each year. A number of scholarships and partial scholarships are awarded to Australian students each year. It is the generosity of YESI that enables us to offer these scholarships. FACE is registered with the education department in each state.
