1-2 Year High School Programs Abroad

All of us fall in love with traveling sooner or later, and some of us get the courage to explore the world at an earlier stage in life. Studying abroad in high school is the perfect way to not only start maturing and gaining independence, but to also immerse yourself in a new culture, develop intercultural and language skills that you probably didn’t know you had, and make great memories and precious friends all over the world. Doing 1-2 years high school programs abroad will help you expand your horizons when deciding what college you should attend, and guarantee your future success.

A Guide to High School Programs Abroad for 1-2 Years

Locations

When choosing your destination for doing high school programs abroad for 1-2 years, there are quite a few things to consider, but most of all, consider the type of activity you want to concentrate on most during your highschool years, and go from there. Here are some great locations that might spark your interest:

Germany. Whether you want to become fluent in German, explore the German culture, study art, music, politics, history, or science, doing 1-2 years high school programs abroad in Germany can become the backbone to your bright future. Offering a great combo of 50% studying and 50% interning at a local company, you have the opportunity to apply what you’re learning in class in a real life working environment. Popular cities like Berlin, Stuttgart, Munich, Frankfurt or Dusseldorf, each with their unique differences and potentials, offer great high school abroad programs for young, ambitious teenagers just like you.

England. If you’ve ever dreamed about attending college at Cambridge or Oxford, then doing high school programs abroad for 1-2 years in England will definitely help make your dream come true. Spending some of the most important part of your teenage years studying history, science, literature, or business in an open-minded society, surrounded by a variety of historical and cultural attractions, will make your high school experience highly educational and prosperous. Prestigious universities in cities like London, Oxford, Cambridge, Manchester, or Liverpool offer great high school academic programs for ambitious young teenagers who want to take learning to a different level.

Netherlands. Known as an open society, Netherlands is a great place to experience high school programs abroad for 1-2 years. This small but great country offers one of the best international atmospheres and communities, high quality education, a perfect combination between busy city life and quiet, peaceful, small country sides, and some of the happiest and most easy-going people in the world. If you happen to fall in love with the country (like many others have), you can continue your studies at prestigious schools in Maastricht, Amsterdam, or The Hague.

A Life-Changing Pathway to my American High School Diploma

Graduating from Smart Schools International has been an amazing experience. The flexible online setup allowed me to manage my time easily while still receiving a quality American education. The lessons were clear, and the teachers were always supportive and quick to help whenever I needed guidance. SSI didn’t just help me finish high school—it boosted my confidence and prepared me for college and future opportunities. I’m proud to be an SSI graduate and highly recommend the program.
