Question 1

intro

Accepted Answer

Puerto Rico is so small, and yet remarkably diverse. Colorful viejo San Juan gives way to a modern metropolis. Beautiful beaches surround the island on all sides (obviously). There are rainforests and deserts and rugged mountains in between. An unincorporated U.S. territory and former Spanish colony, the island is home to an interesting blend of cultures. It will feel familiar and brand new all at once, even to Americans on high school programs in Puerto Rico.

Question 2

Why do a High School Abroad program in Puerto Rico?

Accepted Answer

Puerto Rico high school programs are, for better or worse, often driven by the island&rsquo;s position in the path of destructive Caribbean hurricanes. Students interested in giving back during their high school travel in Puerto Rico can pursue volunteer opportunities in some of the island&rsquo;s smaller communities where they&rsquo;ll help rebuild after the most recent disaster. Spanish language schools, mostly in San Juan, may also welcome students spending time in high school abroad in Puerto Rico for intensive language programs.
