ASSE International Student Exchange

Description

ASSE was established in 1976 as the American Scandinavian Student Exchange by the Swedish Government to organize student exchange programs between Sweden and the United States. Soon Denmark, Norway and Finland elected to participate.

At present, ASSE works closely with the Canadian provincial education ministries and is approved by the Ministry of Education in New Zealand. ASSE maintains 38 offices, which represent students from 31 countries. More than 30,000 high school age students and host families are accommodated annually in its programs in the participating countries.
