Program Overview

Study with a small group of American students in Seoul, living and learning in a buzzing metropolis for an unforgettable semester abroad.

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 Seoul CIEE Center and online courses through ASU Prep Global. Start your journey at the Global Gateway Academy in London, then transition to Seoul 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.

Outside of class, you’ll soak up Seoul’s energy. Experience daily life as you explore iconic neighborhoods, traditional markets, Buddhist temples, and themed cafés. From planned excursions to lifelong friendships, your time abroad builds confidence for college and creates memories that last long after your semester ends.
