I was a CBYX student with AFS. The volunteers made my arrival in Germany so easy and were always willing to help. I grew so much over the year, I’m very grateful for the experience. The friends and family I made during my exchange year are so important to me.

A Guide to High School Programs Abroad for 3-6 Months

Locations

High school programs abroad for 3-6 months provide enough time to travel somewhere you can really call home. The best locations for your 3-6 month high school program abroad will depend on what you choose to focus on, but here are some of the top spots for a medium-length stay:

Germany. High school programs in Germany are among the most popular for English-speaking learners because they offer standard high school course options along with language-immersion and cultural exploration. German high school abroad programs are academically rigorous. They offer a wide variety of options from the bustle of Berlin to the scenic, medieval castles of Bavaria. Programs in Germany typically place participants with a host family, and the high schools participating encourage club activities, sports, and outdoor activities as part of the experience.

Bolivia. This diverse region of South America offers opportunities for you to explore topics including language, history, geography, and economics in a country that includes access to both the Andes Mountains and the Amazon Basin! If you’re interested in biodiversity or biological sciences, Bolivia would be an excellent choice for you, given that the country boasts an incredible variety of plants and animals—and, for those who want to work toward ecological sustainability, you’ll discover that Bolivia also focuses heavily on planetary health. 

Ghana. With 3-6 month high school programs abroad, you could experience any of the fantastic countries in Africa, but if you’re interested in exploring one of the more globally integrated locations, look no further than Ghana. You can take in museums in the capital city of Accra, spend time in Tamale’s busy city-center, or explore the forest reserves of Kumasi, all while gaining some fantastic perspective on African history and its impact on the world!
