High School Study Abroad

Going to high school in a foreign country will definitely set you apart from your peers. It demonstrates you have the courage and independence needed to succeed in life. By living with a local family and studying at a local school, you’ll have the opportunity to pick up a new language, learn about a new culture, and make friends from around the world. Imagine having the opportunity of studying anywhere around the world… before you’re 18! What a great way to finish off your high school education. By studying abroad, you’ll have the perfect stepping stool to get into a top-tier university and the best job opportunities available.

How does it work? First, check with your current high school to see if they have any connections to schools abroad. Next, check with your high school abroad program to ensure your current high school credits will transfer both to the new school and back (in case you are not a senior). Once the paperwork is all taken care of, talk with your parents about how to fund the program. Students sometimes raise money or work extra jobs during the summer in order to save up enough cash for their time abroad. You’ll want to read as much as you can about the place you’ll be staying and talk with your host family to ensure they are a good fit for you. Ask as many questions as possible so you can minimize the surprises when you land. Get international health insurance and make sure your program will give you all the support you need upon arrival in your new home. Finally, have fun! This could be one of the best experiences of your life. Don’t waste a minute of it.
