Why CIEE?

CIEE Gap Year Abroad programs provide recent U.S. high school graduates with an incredible international experience. Taking classes with students from around the world, living with native host families, and volunteering with local organizations challenges CIEE participants to push their own boundaries and immerse themselves in another language and culture.

For 65 years, CIEE has been the nation's leader in producing high-quality international study abroad and exchange programs. A nonprofit, non-governmental international exchange organization, we help to set—and raise—the standards of international education. We are committed to leading by example—to providing superior study abroad opportunities that challenge and inspire the next generation of global citizens.
