How to Study High School Abroad This Summer

Prepare for High School Summer Programs

Understanding the benefits

When you study abroad during the summer, you're not just taking a break from school—you're gaining life-changing experiences that will stay with you forever.

  • Academic enrichment. Summer programs offer a chance to dive into subjects that interest you in a completely new context.
  • Language fluency. The best way to learn a language is to live where it’s spoken.
  • Personal growth. Stepping out of your comfort zone and adapting to a new environment will build resilience and confidence.
  • Adventure cultural immersion. Summer programs abroad offer endless opportunities for adventure. Living and learning in a foreign country enables you to gain a deeper understanding of local traditions and customs, while also developing a global perspective.

Amazing Experience

December 04, 2025by: John Babson - United StatesProgram: Pre-College Enrichment Montreal - On the Campus of McGill
10

My son attended the 3-week program at McGill in Montreal and absolutely loved it. He has been to many camps over the years, but he said this was by far the best experience he’s ever had. He connected with a wonderful group of kids, many of whom he’s still in touch with today. The program itself was very well organized, and the counselors did an excellent job keeping everyone engaged, entertained, and connected. Overall, it was an outstanding program, and I would highly recommend it.
