Profile
The CHSCA has supported an annual Student Exchange Program since 2004 to foster school, family and living experiences of students from both Cupertino CA and Hsinchu Taiwan. Each year a group of students from the Cupertino Union School District (CUSD) and Fremont Union High School District (FUHSD) are selected and prepared for their trip to Hsinchu in April to visit their host family's students for a week. In October, a group of Hsinchu students in turn will visit another group of host families in California. Through these exchange programs, students from both sides experience valuable and lifelong friendships and knowledge through the activities and encounters throughout the entire visit preparations and process. Hsinchu is known as the Silicon Valley of Taiwan with over 300 tech companies located in the Hsinchu Science and Technology Park, and part of this exchange is to provide students an opportunity to see how connected our two cities are and the world as a whole.
