Program Highlights
Take a break from the hustle and bustle of the city center and go biking and canoeing in the Amsterdam Forest, the largest greenspace in the city.
Encounter the Latin Quarter’s festive street scene at Amsterdam’s Albert Cuyp market, the largest open-air market in Europe and where you can try the tasty stroopwafel.
Travel to tranquil Zaanse Schans and experience how the Dutch lived in the days of yore—caring for livestock, generating power with windmills, wearing clogs, and growing tulips.
Let the giant stained-glass portraits of Dutch artists welcome you to the Rijksmuseum; lose yourself in its world-renowned collections of art and find a masterpiece that speaks to you.
Engage in a simulation of the EU Parliament at work in Brussels and ask yourself, "Will you take the role of citizen, expert, or politician?"

September 28, 2024by: Kyler W.Program: CIEE HS Summer Abroad: World Governance in AmsterdamI would definitely recommend this program or any CIEE program to someone looking to study abroad! My only slight hesitation is that it was very expensive, and for some people in my school or community it just might not be possible, but if someone I knew was looking for an opportunity regardless of price, I would 1000% reccomend.
