Seek Discomfort

Dec 9, 2024

I had always felt I was too shy or didn’t go out and do what I wanted, so braving up and accomplishing this experience was one of the most amazing, rewarding experiences I have ever done and it made me feel so good about myself. It not only made me feel more confident and comfortable in myself and new or awkward scenarios and allowed me to be open to lots of opportunities but it also introduced me to some of the nicest people ever who I developed long lasting relationships with and helped me choose what I want to do with my future, and where I would want to live.

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
If I did this all over again, I would definitely make myself be more open, and ready to try a lot of new things and share with new people as I feel if i opened up more my relationships would last longer and be more strong.
Pros
  • Meeting New People
  • Trying New Food
  • Experiencing a New Culture
Cons
  • Unfamiliar Home/Town
  • Away From Family
  • Different Curriculum

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.
