Established as a company limited by guarantee in May 1991, this year will be CHE's 20th Anniversary.  During the past 20 years CHE has developed from a local family-run business to a nation-wide network of Group Coordinators and we now offer study programmes in more than 18 seperate areas across the UK and Ireland.

Whilst the business has grown, CHE has not lost sight of the founding principle which makes its programmes a success - our focus on the needs of each individual student.  A small office team maintains the intimacy of the family-run business upon which we were founded 20 years ago allowing our business to enjoy enduring relationships within the communities of our homestay areas.

We work closely with UK schools as well, to promote opportunities for cultural exchange between Japanese and the British students.  In some of the schools we work with, this has formed an integral part of their Japanese language programme and has continued for a number of years.
