High School Summer Study Abroad?

Question

What are some good summer study abroad programs for high school students?

Answer 1

I know that Rotary has a very good one. If you are excepted, you go to one of the countries that you have picked and spend a month there, then the child of the family that you stayed with (generally some one around your age) will fly back with you and spend a month in your house. That is really cool because you both can see each others way of life.



Below I posted a web site for you to look at. This might not be for your area, but it will give you some basic info. If this seems like something that you might like doing, just google it and find a Rotary club in your area to go about applying!

I am sure that you would have an amazing time on this trip. I hope that this has helped! You can email me if you would like to talk more about it.

OK I was enrolled in Afs they are a good program and help you every bit of the way, but if youre like me and money doesnt grow out of your but then I would choose ASSE

They offer the same exact things as AFS you dont have to know the language ( even though it would help a little) they even pay for youre medical insurance! AND IF YOU SEND IN YOURE PRELIM APP BY mAY 1ST YOU ONLY HAVE TO PAY 6525 dollars. and if you dont send it in by may first then its still only 7150! with AFS and all the other programs its like $10100 and you still have to buy health insurance! also you get a nice little duffle bag!lol

Spain is a wonderful choice and the program www.beautifulspain.com, one of the best if not the best of the programs offered abroad world wide. Location is a safe and most amazingly beautiful beach resort in Northern Spain.

Host families are extremely well screened and very loving. This program gets returnees year after year, so great it is.

Cost is really reasonable considering everything included (as long as you sign up with this program through their web site as there are organizations that sell the same program for much more so high quality it is).

Some of the activities and excursions it offers besides Spanish, cooking and dancing classes are: Guggenheim Museum, paella dinner, bullfight, fireworks on the beach, city tour, medieval towns, fishing villages, many beach days, Aquarium, tall ship vessel excursion, Roman village hiking trip, canoening down the river, shopping, and much more.

It offers you the possibility of enrolling with a friend with whom to share same host family home, or for you to stay alone at host family. Many host families count on children of similar age to participating students.
