CIEE High School Academy in Lisbon
Program Overview
Discover the historic city of Lisbon, studying with a cohort of American students as you live and learn in Portugal.
Spend a semester abroad following U.S.-aligned high school classes with a cohort of American students. Our hybrid model allows you to customize your schedule with in-person instruction at the Lisbon CIEE Center and online courses through ASU Prep Global.
Start your journey at the Global Gateway Academy in London, then transition to Lisbon to live with a welcoming host family, connect with your cohort, and immerse yourself in a new culture while staying on track with your high school’s graduation requirements.
Every day brings something new in your semester abroad. Visit the magical town of Sintra, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and join a traditional Portuguese folk dance workshop. By the end of the semester, you’ll carry home new friendships, fresh perspectives, and confidence that shapes your future.
