CIEE High School Study Abroad Exchange in Mexico

Step into the life of a local student, living and learning in the heart of Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula. Enroll in a local private school, studying alongside Méridan students and learning from local teachers, immersing yourself fully in the Méridan experience. Whether exploring Mexico’s past in clase de historia or mastering science vocab in clase de química, you’ll learn 100% in Spanish! On weekends, discover pueblos mágicos (magical towns), swim in cenotes (caves with fresh water), and taste authentic dishes only found in the Yucatán region. Sharing traditions with your new friends and host family helps you feel right at home, creating memories and connections that last long after your time abroad.
