AFS Intercultural Programs Abroad in New Zealand

New Zealand's two islands are divided by Cook Strait. The North Island boasts volcanoes, hot springs, mud pools, geysers, and beaches, while the South Island has rugged Alpine mountains, glaciers, and access to activities like swimming with dolphins and whale-watching. By living with a host family and attending a local school in New Zealand (Aotearoa), you’ll get to know why this country is celebrated for its friendliness and breathtaking natural beauty. Experience the casual Kiwi culture and pass your days with plenty of time outdoors, having a family barbecue or hiking to the nearest beach. You’ll be totally immersed in New Zealand society and learn all about its rich and varied culture. This isn’t just a year abroad; it’s an adventure you’ll never forget!

My son studied in New Zealand with Greenheart

Program: Study Abroad in New Zealand with Greenheart Travel

10

Our son - age 15 - traveled with Greenheart study abroad for the second semester of his sophomore year of high school. He was aboard for 6 months and had the MOST AMAZING experience. While we got to live vicariously thru his photos and phone calls...my husband and I were experiencing an empty nest for the first time and we also learned a lot. So here is some advice for parents sending their children abroad.... Make a list of things YOU want to do while your child is away... my husband and I took dance lessons, had adult only (no children) dinner parties, accomplished house updates, traveled to visit our children who were away at college, visited aging parents, put in extra time a work and started hiking more. Our son's host parents were amazing. Our son was very very detailed in what his likes and interest were when he wrote his bio page for Greenheart. I truly feel that the extra detail and attention allowed Greenheart to hand-select the perfect family for him.
