China Semester High School Program – Fall Departure
Spend an academic year in China attending a local high school while living with a host family.
Attending high school in China for a semester will be an extremely challenging yet rewarding experience. The Chinese education system is academically rigorous so be prepared to devote significant effort towards your studies. Uniforms are required and students are responsible for any associated costs. Semester program participants are offered an intensive language class during the first 3 months of your stay. These classes will be arranged by your local volunteers and be offered through your host high school.
About halfway through your stay, you will have an orientation organized at the regional level. This will last for 1-2 days and will focus on cultural and school adjustment. You will also meet with AFS staff and volunteers to evaluate your first few months and be offered guidance to continue the cultural transition as smoothly as possible.
