AFS Year and Semester High School Abroad in Czech Republic
- Czech Republic
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.
