I'm a high school student in the United States. I need something - whether it be an internship, homestay, boarding school etc. to get me to Sydney this summer (when it will be winter there) and keep me grounded with a good amount of independence. Do you have any specific suggestions on where to go? I've done a lot of research, but I've found it extremely difficult to find something that wasn't a teen tour-like program

If your credit is VERY important, compare the CRA direct reports with the myFICO reports.

I would avoid sydney unless you have a lot of money. Rent in Sydney is much more expensive than in most cities in the US. Boarding schools in sydney have very long waiting lists, most children wanting to go to a private/boarding school in Sydney are enrolled at high school when they are 2 years old. A farmstay would give you a great experience if you don't mind hunting kangaroos and cutting the balls off sheep, and you will get paid (although not much) Queensland will be nice in winter, victoria and tasmania will be very cold but are very beautiful.

You will not be able to come to Australia under the age of 18 unless you are either 1) in a school or 2) on the tour program you are talking about P2P. 1) requires you to commit to 6 -12 months and requires either a formal exchange program (6 or 12 months) or to enrol as an international student in a boarding school (12 months and there is a multi year waiting list - plus will cost around 15K).
