A Guide to High School Programs in the Galapagos Islands
High School in the Galapagos
Adventure Travel and ecotourism are both especially popular forms of high school programs in the Galapagos Islands. Students will be able to learn all about environmental and wildlife preservation while also having the opportunity to interact closely with animals and partake in a wide range of fun activities. This type of high school program often incorporates volunteer opportunities across a variety of community service projects. Many of the islands’ inhabitants lack access to basic resources, so students can leave behind a positive impact on both the environmental and the local people by lending a helping hand.
Language Immersion is another common type of high school program in the Galapagos Islands. As a territory of Ecuador, Spanish is the most common language spoken throughout the Galapagos, making it a fun and enriching destination for students to take their Spanish fluency to the next level. Generally, Spanish language programs consist of morning and/or afternoon classes every weekday, with plenty of fun extracurricular activities thrown in to sweeten the pot.
Many high school programs in the Galapagos Islands will include additional travel to several other places in Ecuador, including the Andes Mountains and Amazon Rainforest. If you want to see the Galapagos Islands, but you are interested in expanding your South American adventure beyond this infamous island chain, then exploration programs may be just right for you!
