Running since 1987, AIG High School Diplomats sends Japanese high school students to the U.S. each summer. After a tour (in 2026: Washington, D.C.), they join the same number of American students for an exchange part (in 2026: at the University of Virginia). Selection is by documents and essay, then interviews in Japanese and English plus group work. Participants prepare a presentation introducing Japan and work on their English before departure.
