homestudy abroad programs for high school students from the united states
High School Abroad brings students, families, schools, and communities together in an interactive, cross-cultural learning experience. You'll live with a host family as their own son or daughter, attend high school, participate in community activities, and experience life in a totally new and different environment. High School Abroad programs are available for a semester or for the full academic year. If you don't have the flexibility to study abroad during the semester or academic year, make the most of your summer and study abroad on our summer program in Japan, and stay tuned for new summer programs!
We offer programs in Australia, Brazil, Chile, China Summer Program, Costa Rica, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Spain, and a Japan Summer Program. Whether your hope is to go for a summer, semester, or for a full academic year, you will have the opportunity to:
- Enroll in a local (public or private, as available) high school
- Live with a host family
- Attend a pre-departure orientation and onsite orientation upon arrival
- Stay covered during your stay by international medical insurance and 24-hour worldwide assistance provided through the CIEE iNext travel card
- Leave home confident of the supervision and support you will receive throughout your stay, including 24-hour in-country emergency support
- Travel internationally with a group of fellow students from the gateway departure city to your orientation location
