Explore the amazing country of Indonesia through studying at a local high school and living with a host family. This year program offers an unparalleled opportunity for a rich cultural immersion experience.
Attending high school in Indonesia, though challenging at first, will be a deeply rewarding and interesting experience. Indonesia is a diverse country, including the socioeconomic levels of its communities. Wearing a school uniform is a way to eliminate economic disparities among students in schools. Therefore, students will need uniforms, which will be provided by host families.
Your local AFS chapter will organize activities throughout the year, which may include parties or excursions to other cities or regions in Indonesia. 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.
Indonesia’s motto is “unity in diversity”—appropriate for a nation whose population includes some 300 ethnic groups speaking more than 500 languages and dialects, stretching across the world’s largest archipelago: 17,000 islands; 11,000 of which are uninhabited. There’s a wealth of culture to explore while you’re here, such as the dress (sarongs, kebayas, batik shirts, and songkoks) and the wonderful cuisine which combines techniques and ingredients from Indonesia, the Middle East, China, and Europe.
