High School Study Abroad in Fiji

More than just fancy bottled water, Fiji is the South Pacific island country of your dreams. Paradise is an understatement: the beauty of Fiji’s nine groups of islands is endless, volcanic mountains, bright turquoise waters, tropical rainforests, and coconut plantations. Picturesque beaches coupled with warm hospitality, a community-centered culture, and English and Indian influences make Fiji stand out among tropical high school program destinations. Get your fair share of outdoor and aquatic activities, relish in being welcomed with a warm Bula!, eat taro until you can’t no more, and prolong hearing Isa Lei, the national farewell song, for as long as possible.

I loved the service activities we did and learning about the fijian people, community and language. Connecting with the locals and helping the villages and womens shelter was one of my favorite parts

A Guide to High School Programs Abroad in Fiji

Locations

Fiji’s population is concentrated on the major islands of Viti Levu and Vanua Levu, but most high school programs in Fiji take students on a traveling adventure across several of the 300+ islands. Explore the urban capital, nearly-uninhabited islands, and local villages while practicing your Fijian vinaka and vinaka (please and thank you), just don’t forget your all-important sarong for the beach and visits to Christian churches, mosques, and Sikh and Hindu temples.

Nadi, pronounced Nandi because the “d” in Fijian sounds like “nd”, is Fiji’s jumping-off point. In Nadi high school students can enjoy live music at New Nadi’s Farmer’s Club before heading down to the Denarau Marina. Take advantage of your free weekends by catching a boat from Nadi to the Yasawa and Mamanuca islands (where Castaway was filmed!). There are plenty of budget resorts with surreal postcard-esque beach views to check out during any high school program in Fiji too. You can also visit the Garden of the Sleeping Giant to see native Fijian orchids, which will be a treat for all of your senses.

As the the capital on the largest island, Suva is the urban heart of Fiji. Get your Fijian history fix at the Fiji Museum, then check out all the fresh fruits at the Municipal Market. Witness some sizzling skills at the Mariamma Temple (where an annual fire-walking festival is held during June or August), get lost in the nearby Colo-i-Suva Cloud Forest, and sample Fijian dishes like duruka (Fijian asparagus) and kokoda (Fiji’s take on ceviche).

High school programs in Fiji take advantage of the biodiversity that exists on land and under the sea; several high school programs in Fiji take students from one magical island to another, hitting rural areas along the way. You can even get diving certified in PADI Open Water, spending days exploring impressive reefs and underwater ecosystems on Caqalai, or contribute to community development, from planting vegetable gardens to constructing harvesting systems to helping inside local classrooms, in the coastal villages of the Dawasamu District.
