The CIEE Difference
History and Experience
With 65 years in the industry, a vast network of global receiving organizations, and longstanding relationships in local communities, CIEE gives students access to the best study abroad resources available.
Structure and Opportunity
The structure of intensive coursework balanced with the opportunity to partake in extracurricular activities allows students to indulge their interests while ensuring regular communication with teachers and mentors.
Safety and Support
Dedicated program staff educated in conflict resolution, 24/7 CIEE and in-country emergency support, and comprehensive travel insurance give students—and parents—peace of mind while abroad.
Cultural Immersion
Homestays, local school placement, and extracurricular options help students integrate fully into the local culture.
Language Acquisition
More than just in-class study–by immersing yourself in another culture students learn a new language by living it.
Pre-Departure Orientation
A comprehensive orientation program will help you and your child manage expectations, prepare for culture shock, and answer important questions, all before they leave the country.
Local Coordinators
These student advocates are available to answer questions, mediate and resolve issues, and help coordinate involvement in extracurricular activities and sports.
Homestays
Carefully vetted host families interested in welcoming foreign students into their home are matched with your child based on their interests and personality.
