About Program

The people of the Czech Republic are among some of the most open-minded in central Europe. Their capital city, Prague, is world-renowned for its support of contemporary artists and intellectuals. Outside of Prague, Bohemia is a wonderful countryside full of farms, forests, ponds, fairy-tale villages and rustic hills sheltering castles.

While living with a host family and experiencing the friendly hospitality of a Czech family, you’ll be sure to learn the ins-and-outs of everyday Czech life. Plus, by attending a highly competitive local high school called a “Gymnazium,” you’ll have the opportunity to experience Czech language immersion! The Czech Republic is an ideal place to step outside of your comfort zone, become a cultural insider, and engage in an exciting new adventure.

Precious Time

Dec 16, 2015

The Czech Republic was so welcoming and breathtaking. It was easy to adapt to this culture and the people are so nice! The deciding factor for my selection of this location was the security! I spent a lot of time learning and growing and would highly recommend any high school student to participate in one of these programs!

Interesting Country, Great Volunteers

Dec 4, 2015

While the Czech Republic may have changed significantly in the last 9 years, going on AFS was a pivotal moment in my life. This isn't necessarily limited to the country, but to the experience of stepping outside of your comfort zone as a teenager. AFS does their best to provide support in your host and home countries. The Czech Republic had great volunteers who cared deeply about the students. I ran into a few issues when I had host family troubles, but overall it was a positive experience.
