A Guide to High School Programs Abroad in Lima
Popular High School Programs in Lima
Though Lima has taken many steps towards modernity, it is still deeply rooted in the ancient world. There are countless ways to experience the dichotomy of twenty-first century amenities and indigenous wisdom, so pack your bags and say napaykullayki to your newest home away from home.
If you want to learn Spanish, there is no better way than to immerse yourself in a country that speaks it. Language immersion programs for teens are popular in Lima, and whether your only word is hola or you’ve already mastered the subjunctive, you’ll learn to appreciate the culture behind the language. Classes are typically two to three hours per day, and also include extras like dance classes, cooking classes, weaving demonstrations, or group countryside bike rides. If you’re placed in a homestay, you’ll get extra practice with your host family, and might even pick up some Quechua, the indigenous language of Peru.
If Spanish isn’t your focus, consider community service and volunteering. You’ll be placed in English-speaking groups that work to upgrade educational facilities, teach children to read, and provide resources and training in agriculture to aspiring or struggling farmers. These programs emphasize the importance of cross-cultural connections with local communities.
Students looking for adventure can satisfy their thirst for the unknown by participating in Lima’s outdoor education programs. These shorter trips range from personal, independently-designed expeditions through the Andes, to group trips exploring Peru’s natural and man-made wonders. Whether you’re backpacking, kayaking, trekking, or climbing mountains, you’ll be learning how to cooperate in groups, rely on yourself, speak Spanish, and explore how indigenous people meet their needs.
