India Year High School Program – Fall Departure
Get a full dose of cultural immersion while studying abroad in India for a full year. This program offers a truly unique opportunity to live with a host family while attending a local high school.
Attending school in India for an entire academic year will be an intense and rewarding experience. Indians take their education very seriously, so you may find that attending high school in India will be quite demanding. Students are required to wear a uniform.
Your local AFS chapter will organize activities throughout the year, which may include parties or excursions to other cities or regions in India. Also, over the course of your program, AFS staff and volunteers will meet with you at orientations to evaluate your experience and help with your cultural adjustment.

About India
Four major world religions, Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainsim and Sikhism, originated in India; and Zoroastrianism, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam arrived with traders in the first millennium CE and helped shape the region’s diverse culture. While Hindi and English are the official languages, there are more than 1,500 dialects. Family life and school are central in India. Most of India is rural, though the cities are growing.
