High School Study Abroad

High School Year and Semester Programs

Choose a high school year or semester program and get the complete AFS immersion experience. As you attend high school and live with your host family for 5-11 months, AFS academic programs abroad enable you to:

  • Cultivate Strong Relationships – More time in your host country means stronger bonds with your host family and friends.
  • Fine-Tune Another Language – Learning a second language takes time, and a semester or year program provides enough time to refine a second language.
  • Get the Full Picture – High school abroad offers a chance to experience living abroad and discovering the rhythms of everyday life in your host country.
