I would talk to an adisor our counselor at your school. Someone there should know that information, and if your school as established relationships with a school in Japan.

Let me say this much. Unless your Japanese is really good, I think it might be a, franky, difficult and maybe depressing experience. Japanese high school is VERY different from American high school. Personally, I would recommend looking at a college exchange program where you could be taking classes in English.

I have hosted exchange programs for 3 week trips, and after a day and a half of classes in Japanese (with American students who had studied Japanese 2 to 4 years) they had enough of Japanese high school classes.

Student-teacher interaction in minimal in class. Most classes are taught like lectures.

Of course you do. If you find something make sure you aren't going to be just sitting staring at a wall for 7 hours a day in classes you don't understand. There are all kinds of programs, I bet.
