I also want to be placed in either london or paris. a bigger city like that. is there any study abroad programs for high school students that specializes in either paris or london? i am 16 and will be a junior

Answer 1

If you want to spend a summer in the City of Lights (Paris) having lots of fun while learning French language and culture with other teens from around the world, the Paris Summer Camp by AmeriSpan is your best bet (http://www.amerispan.com/teenager_progra...

Another cool choice (if you like the seas, that is) is the Seamester at http://www.seamester.com/

If you're looking for a year-long high school experience (including being around French teens instead of world citizens) while also living with a French family, Intrax has a very good program http://www.intraxstudyabroad.com/france/...

I did the AmeriSpan summer camp back in the day and it was awesome, and a friend of mine attended the Intrax program (actually, she loved France so much that she stayed, found her true love and got her Doctorate there [she makes a lot of money as an Engineer for the transportation authority there]).

Some people will tell you that Frenchman are arrogant and aloof; that's non-sense. If you go there with an open mind (realizing that you're not in the states and the reason you paid thousands of dollars is to be in a different place/culture), you'll find that the French are highly sociable, agreeable and even lovely people (in addition to being very cultivated in the arts, the sciences, philosophy, politics and the art of living).

Whatever program you choose, you won't regret it, and you'll help our country be not only the economic, political and military leader that we are; but the cultural and human leader that we deserve to be as well.

Au Revoir!
