Peru Year High School Program – Spring Departure
Attend a year of high school in the mountainous country of Peru while working on your Spanish skills and living with a host family.
As you attend a local high school in your host community, this will be an ideal place to meet friends and get involved with sports, music or the arts. Students in Peru learn about Spanish literature, Math, English, Peruvian history, Economics, Civics, Arts and Handicrafts, Social Sciences, Chemistry, Physics and more. The school year begins in April and ends in December, with about 14 days of vacation.
Over the course of your program, the local AFS chapter may organize activities throughout the program, which may include parties or excursions to other cities or regions in Peru. Also, AFS staff and volunteers will meet with you during orientations to evaluate your experience and help with your cultural adjustment.

About Peru
Andean peaks surround Machu Picchu; lush tropical rainforests, Amazonian jungles, sandy beaches, arid deserts, remote farmland and fishing villages make up the Peruvian landscape. Likewise, Peru’s cuisine is rich in variety and has influences from Spanish, Chinese, European, African, and Japanese cultures. Peru’s people are also diverse: Quechua Indian—descendants of the Incas—mestizos (part-Indian and part-European) and people of Spanish ancestry.
