CIEE is the leading U.S. non-governmental international education organization. CIEE creates and administers programs that allow high school students, university students and graduates, and educators to study and teach abroad.
Into the chilly postwar world of 1947, CIEE launched the next generation of study abroad programs, the first since they'd been suspended during World War II. Senators and scholars worried about how to increase international understanding and establish trust between nations. As soon as there was enough capacity aboard trans-Atlantic ships to carry students, CIEE programs began teaching.
Today, CIEE has 118 Study Abroad programs in 40 host countries and Teach Abroad programs in Chile, China, Spain and Thailand. American families can participate in hosting international high school students studying in America on our USA High School program. Educators can participate in summer International Faculty Development Seminars in over 15 countries. Our U.S. specialists have studied or lived abroad, can advise you how to choose a host country and program that fits you. We also have English-speaking staff members at all of our program sites overseas. They'll help with any problem – academic, administrative, or day-to-day – and give you insider tips on the city and country.
Who could argue? We need understanding and trust more than ever today. Gain that understanding; build that trust on a CIEE program. Please contact us to learn more.
