Ecuador Year High School Program – Fall Departure
Spend one full academic year in Ecuador attending a local high school and living with a host family.
You’ll probably attend a single-gender school where you may study up to 13 subjects from a standard curriculum. Ecuadorian society values family and friendship, so your host family will welcome your participation in daily activities. Hanging out with friends and family is also a great way to further perfect your Spanish language skills. You’ll meet other AFS Participants at orientations, and possibly take part in an optional trip to the Galápagos Islands at an additional cost.

About Ecuador
Ecuador’s traditional arts, textiles, and ceramics are based in a culture that dates from around 3200 B.C. Four distinct regions–the highlands, coastal areas, rainforest, and the famous Galápagos Islands (where Darwin studied and wrote about evolution)–all make Ecuador an exciting country for you to discover while perfecting your Spanish and making friends.
