Questions & Answers

Do you offer full scholarships for upcoming international students?
Answer this question
Do any of the programs offer dorm/boarding living situations?

For our high school study abroad programs we only offer host family accommodation, as we feel this provides the best cultural immersion experience. If you want to live in a dorm we do offer our Summer Language programs that have dorm options for 1-6 weeks in the summertime.

Do you need to be an american student to participate in this program or is it for high school students from all countries?

Hi there. We offer our programs to high schoolers from the USA and Canada.

Can you choose a specific high school you'd want to attend?

This is possible as long as we have a support network in that area and community and there is an available nearby host family.
