When it comes to high school study abroad, you can go just about anywhere! You might choose a place that traveling teens of years’ past often visit, like Spain or Italy. OR you can throw caution to the wind and check out somewhere more exotic, like Peru or South Africa. Whatever your style, here are a few awesome locations for 9-12 week long high school abroad programs.
England. Spending two to three months in England will be enough to scratch the itch, but will leave you longing for even more time in this gorgeous, cultured, hilarious place (maybe a return trip for a semester or year abroad in college?!). Take classes that count towards college credits, dive deep into British art and culture (Harry Potter definitely counts), and get to know yourself—and your new travel buds—on a whole other level.
Japan. All manga maniacs will rejoice while spending two to three months studying abroad in Japan in high school! 9-12 week programs give you ample time to travel around the archipelago to start to get a feel for the different subcultures in this proud, historic nation. Improve your Japanese language skills, befriend robots, climb mountains, volunteer on meaningful projects, and get inspired. Your future is as bright as all these neon lights!
New Zealand. Calling all adrenaline junkies—we’ve found your home away from home. Spend your summer in New Zealand shredding ‘nar down epic mountains or putting on a (thick) wetsuit to snorkel with penguins. Spending a few months in Aoteoroa will give you a taste of life in Middle Earth (and probably a taste for lamb), not to mention ample cultural experiences to pad your future college applications.
