Summer High School Programs in Central America

This trip is perfectly paced between academic learning and having fun where you are. The teachers used new and exciting locations to enhance the schooling experience. That, mixed with tons of time for fun, either organized by the teachers or with your friends, assures that this trip is one of a lifetime! The trip is action packed with activities everywhere you go. Being able to get two high school courses done like this is the best way to do it!

Let me tell you, MEI truly changed me.
The thought of a 35 day trek in the middle of Central America was both trilling and nerve-wracking to me before I left. Ive always had a passion for travelling, so I wasn't new to it, but had never travelled anywhere without my parents. When they dropped me off at the Sheraton Hotel to meet the group, I was so nervous, but as soon as I met my everyone on the trip, I was instantly relaxed and so excited! The fun started in the hotel and didn't stop until we got home. All the experiences we had, snorkelling, zip-lining, white water rafting, spelunking, climbing Myan Ruins and so so many more all were so cool. The school work was fine too! Doing work in the summer may not seem too exciting at first, but the way it was taught and delivered was so cool, and how our biology lessons related to everything around us was so cool. The friends I are now life-long friends, and we all talk everyday. We all have a group chat and lots of us have met up so many times too!! MEI was an amazing experience and has shaped me into a better person. It is truly life changing.

This MEI Trip to Belize and Costa Rica was the best experience of my life. I have been to many countries around the world on many different trips but this was by far the best. Not only being gone for a whole month but being able to do English and Biology over the summer was awesome! But it’s not just the traveling and the courses that make it awesome, it’s the community that’s built on the trip and how you really develop a family with not only the other kids doing the program but teachers as well. This experience was truly life changing and if I could do it again I would.

The MEI trip I did this summer was the most incredible experience I have ever been through. Learning in exotic locations with incredible and dedicated teachers made learning fun and intruiging. I made friends I know I will have in my life forever, and share incredible memories with them. It is an adventure I wish every student could experience and prepared me for grade 12! I would highly reccomend doing this trip if you have the opportunity to do so.
