High School Gap Year Programs in France

I had an amazing time in France through Greenheart's 10-month high school abroad program. I was in the "deep south" of France, and by the time I left people told me I'd picked up on their southern accent! The year was in no way an easy one: it took a lot of work to successfully integrate into my host family, find friends (the language barrier is SO real) and master the language. But every moment was worth it! I have an amazing relationship with my host family and lots of friends from my French high school, plus other exchange students I met on the trips. The coordinator for our region was very helpful and kind, and she helped me with anything I asked of her. All in all, it was an awesome experience and I'm sure I'll be heading back to France soon enough to see my new friends again!

This program is truly incredible. The staff is experienced and knowledgable about the culture and current events. Going to 8 cities in a month may sound exhausting, and don't get me wrong - it is, but it is all about the experience. Everyone in the Forum-Nexus family will be just as excited as you are to get out and explore all the cities you will be visiting. Socially, you will meet incredible people from all over the world.
