A Guide to High school abroad for 5-8 weeks
Best Locations
When it comes to high school study abroad, the world is your oyster. You can opt for a destination that many teens love—like Spain or Italy—or go completely off the beaten path in a country like South Africa or China. Awesome, right?! Here are popular locations for 5-8 week long high school abroad programs.
France. Between the gorgeous cityscapes and the delicious dinner plates, it’s no wonder intrepid teens have been making their way to France for decades. While here, you can practice (maybe even master?!) your French—perfect for getting ahead on your college credits. You can even study subjects like Art History or International Business (can you see your college applications sparkling yet?). Just don’t forget to picnic near Eiffel Tower with your besties!
Costa Rica. If you love the beach, have a knack for adventure, and also can’t get enough of those cute bright green frogs, then a 5-8 week long high school summer abroad program in Costa Rica might be your calling. Pack your sunscreen and bug spray for an epic experience in the jungle. Here, you can improve your Spanish skills, do meaningful community service and volunteer work, or learn how to ride the waves. Pura vida? More like pure adventure!
Australia. If you hate sweating, sunburns, and constantly feeling like you’re going to melt—no problem. Head south of the equator to a country like Australia for your 5-8 week high school study abroad program! The winters in Australia aren’t harsh, meaning you’ll have plenty of sunshine to explore the coastline, dive with the fishies, maybe even take a koala selfie? Find yourself down under getting in touch with nature and completing conservation volunteer work.
