High School Study Abroad in Estonia

Estonia offers a unique perspective on diplomacy and government. This small country between Russia and Northern Europe has achieved political and economic progress in a short period of time—largely due to its innovative governance and diplomatic strategies. From the country’s capital, Tallinn, get ready for an inside look at the day-to-day tasks of diplomats and public officials! Meet local leaders, compare Estonia’s government structures with those of the United States, and explore how policies are shaped in different political systems. Tour international organizations promoting peace, like cyber defense hubs and security agencies, and engage in negotiation simulations and conflict resolution strategies. Work with other Global Navigators to identify international security threats and propose a peace-building initiative putting diplomacy and governance into practice. Enjoy the city’s charm, from the medieval Old Town to the Baroque Kadriorg Palace and the Port of Tallinn, the largest seaport in the Baltic Sea. Explore trendy districts like Kalamaja, soak in the beach vibes of Pirita, and meet local teens.
