Program Highlights
Step into student life at Pyongnae High School, where you will join the International Culture Exchange Club, the school's largest cultural community dedicated to global friendship and communication.
One moment you might be learning K-Pop dance moves or even filming short reels, and next you will be playing tradition Korea games, sketching the Taegeukgi (national flag), and more!
Stroll through Jeonju Hanok Heritage Village, where slate-tile roofs curl gently toward the sky and the birthplace of bibimbap invites you to explore its vibrant culture.
Try your hand at mask dancing, learn to play traditional instruments, and even wear hanbok, experiencing the artistry and history of the Joseon dynasty.
Each day offers a balance between interactive instruction and cultural activities with time on your own, too.

New lifelong friendship
September 27, 2024by: Saul C.Traveling the world alone with new people was a once in a life time experience, I met very many people along the way and will be leaving seoul with new life long friendships! It also help me improve multiple skills that’ll eventually lead me towards success!
Met so many people!
September 09, 2024by: Vivian McC.It was so much fun and I met so many lovely people! Great opportunity to experience different cultures. However, it can get pretty pricey depending on the location, and sometimes the planning/scheduling was poorly executed.
I want to relive it
August 19, 2023by: Gabi Figueroa - United StatesThis experience was honestly that I will never take for granted. The people I met and the program overall has helped me a new perspective. I learned to be more independent and more of a good person overall. There are so many things that I have learned from this trip and I can't wait to have another experience like this one.
