CIEE High School Academy in Shanghai
Program Overview
Explore life abroad in Shanghai, one of the world's most innovative cities, while continuing high school with a cohort of American students.
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 Shanghai CIEE Center and online courses through ASU Prep Global. Start your journey at the Global Gateway Academy in London, then transition to Shanghai 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, visit famous sites like Yu Garden, the colonial buildings in The Bund, the shopping district of Nanjing Road, and dozens of specialty museums. By the end of the semester, you’ll have new friendships, fresh perspectives, and confidence that helps shape your future.
