High School Experiential Learning Programs in Sweden

Stretching more than 1,200 miles from its northern reaches in the Arctic Circle to its southern tip that is parallel with Denmark, Sweden encompasses a wealth of natural beauty. It offers forests covering more than half of the country, numerous large rivers, and the longest coastline in Europe. Consequently, outdoor activities are very popular. Most of the population lives in small rural towns, and while the major cities are populous and modern, they retain some of their ancient charm with pockets of medieval streets and architecture. Traditional festivities include celebrations of nature, most notably the return of spring. And during the summer in the North of Sweden, you will experience the sun not going down at all—known as the midnattssol (midnight sun). AFS host family placements are located throughout Sweden.
