High School Study Abroad in Germany

Berlin is Germany’s capital and largest city. Located in the northeastern corner of the country straddling the River Spree, Berlin is a tremendously fascinating urban environment that has gone through many changes in modern history. While attending a high school program in Berlin you will notice some distinct differences between East and West Berlin, which have endured since the fall of the Berlin wall and the end of Soviet rule in the late 20th century. Today, Berlin stands as a thriving city, and a central political, technological, and artistic hub of the European continent.

Munich is another very popular city for high school programs in Germany. As Germany’s third largest city, Munich is consistently ranked as one of the most livable places in the world and offers a wealth of cultural, historic, and sporting attractions, which beg to be explored. Munich’s beautiful blend of historic and modern architecture will provide an excellent backdrop for your high school experience in Germany.

Other popular cities for high school programs in Germany include Hamburg, Frankfurt, Stuttgart, and Dusseldorf. Each city has something unique to offer, so spend some time researching which of these potential locations seems most enticing to you. If you can’t decide on one location don’t fret; many cultural immersion programs for high school students will also take you traveling throughout the country, or even throughout Europe, meaning you don’t always have to choose just one!

I was a CBYX student with AFS. The volunteers made my arrival in Germany so easy and were always willing to help. I grew so much over the year, I’m very grateful for the experience. The friends and family I made during my exchange year are so important to me.

Her spanish improved greatly

My daughter stayed with a host family outside of Barcelona. With the help of Oui-Connect, the experience was easy to arrange and we felt comfortable with the host family and with the program. She had so much fun. The family had two girls her age who shared similar interests as my daughter. They explored many places including the southern mountain town of Estavar in France, the Spanish beach town of Pineda de Mar, Montblanc and, of course, spent a lot of time exploring Barcelona. They took her to Tibidabo amusement park and to see a divised opera at a university in Barcelona. She had so much fun spending time with the family and learning about their culture. Her spanish improved greatly and, I'm sure she will visit the family again. We had ZERO issues and would absolutely recommend Oui-Connect.
