High School Experiential Learning Programs in Argentina

Before coming to Argentina, I was excited but also nervous because it was my first time living in another country for such a long time. Looking back now, I can honestly say it was one of the best decisions I've ever made. My host family welcomed me from day one and quickly made me feel like part of their family. They introduced me to Argentine traditions, food, and everyday life, and I built memories that I'll always carry with me. Attending school in Argentina gave me the chance to improve my Spanish, make friends from around the world, and experience a completely different education system. Outside of school, I loved traveling, exploring new places, going to football matches, drinking mate, and learning about the country's culture and history. There were definitely moments when I missed home, but those challenges helped me become more independent, confident, and adaptable. I learned that growth happens when you step outside your comfort zone. I'm incredibly thankful to Greenheart Travel for making this experience possible. They were supportive throughout the process and helped me achieve a dream I had for years. I would recommend this program to anyone thinking about studying abroad. You'll make lifelong friends, gain a new perspective on the world, and come home as a different person in the best way possible.

it was very fun and i really learned a lot during my trip. i know a lot of people that want to leave for programs and i had a great time so i would probably recommend this one. also ciee has a partnership with my school so i would probably recommend it to people at my school since it’s already pretty connected. I loved going to Iguazú Falls.

It was a good experience! I don’t know if I learned as much about the language as I thought I would, but my Spanish still improved immensely, I learned a lot about a different culture, my perspective on my own culture in relation to others has changed, and I now view living abroad and my kids having an international life as a very viable possibility. I think that has been very valuable.

I had a great time in the program, and I think lots of students at my school who take Spanish (or another language) would appreciate the opportunity to make all of the language learning worth something. Plus, it's a great opportunity to make friends and prepare for college (both in terms of applications and just being self-sufficient).

The biggest benefits for my child were that he gained travel experience, explored new worlds, and improved his Spanish language skills by doing the art program, living with a host family, and traveling in the big city of Buenos Aires. Overall, the arts program was exceptional.

Before coming to Argentina, I had no idea what to expect. In my time here I’ve been far from disappointed. A prospective traveler can expect their time abroad to be filled with countless exciting opportunities. Whether it be strengthening their Spanish through immersion, attending a baile with friends, hiking in the mountains, or more. Highschool abroad is one of the most challenging, but rewarding things a student can do- I couldn’t recommend it enough.

Hi I’m Gaby with Mente Argentina. I did the high school program. This is my homestay. It was really nice and clean and I love it. I stayed with a woman, and she was really friendly and inviting. My Spanish improved a lot. She was very talkative. I loved it here and I will miss it.

Would definitely recommend to others. They have good assistance nearby, really good orientation and good support. I’ll study abroad in Argentina again – I felt at home.
