AFS Intercultural Programs: High School Abroad in Wales (UK)

Studying in the capital city of Cardiff or by the seaside, you’ll have the opportunity to choose your ideal high school in either south or mid-Wales. Although part of the United Kingdom, living in Wales is a wholly unique cultural experience – from the rich history of Welsh traditions to the breathtaking natural beauty of more than 1,800 miles of coastline, you’ll never run out of ways to discover this small but vibrant country. Seated on the western boarder of England, Wales is surrounded by the Irish and Celtic seas, boasting colorful seaside villages, bustling cities, and wondrous mountains.

During your time in Wales, you’ll have the opportunity to absorb Welsh culture firsthand by living with a host family, attending high school with other students from the UK, and participating in activities to fully immerse yourself in your community.
