High School Study Abroad

"My Paris experience was life changing in several ways […] My CIEE experience has made me more independent, has given me a more open minded and more global perspective, has significantly improved my French and had made me more enthusiastic about incorporating French into my daily life".

"I can't express to you how grateful my family is for the amazing opportunity […] This experience has changed my daughter in profound ways and it is such an unexpected surprise for us all. This year in high school she attributes her ability to make friends more easily and open herself up directly to her CIEE experience! We talk about this often, and just wanted to let you know that this program changes lives". 

"CIEE has changed my life. I have done things that would not have been possible. I have found my home and more of myself." 

"I learned to assimilate to situations that were different from what I had been used to, and, through this, was able to form connections with people who were seemingly nothing like me."

"This trip has had a great impact on how I see the world, myself, and the USA. It is absolutely a trip I will never forget and will take with me through my life." 

"It is my first time stepping out of the U.S. and being independent, and I love it! Learning more about a different culture, being able to see things in person that I’ve dreamt about, and making new friends are all so amazing."

"Not only have I made lifelong friendships with lots of new, amazing people, but I have learned about a topic I am passionate about in one of the most beautiful places in the world... I learned to speak basic Setswana and about human-wildlife conflict and conservation. I also got to learn about water and soil erosion/conservation. This meant the world to me!" 

"I no longer travel to find a destination. My destination is to always travel."
