Academic Year, Fall Semester/Trimester and Spring Semester Programs

Longer high school study abroad program options provide you with the opportunity to fully immerse yourself in your host country's culture while dramatically improving your language skills.

On an academic year, fall semester/trimester or spring semester high school study abroad program you will:

• Live with a carefully selected host family
• Attend a local high school
• Have the opportunity to participate in school or community activities
• Improve your foreign language skills, depending on the country you choose

Attend language or cultural classes in the morning, enjoy organized activities in the afternoon, and explore your host country through organized weekend excursions. AYUSA students are placed within close proximity to each other and attend the same classes, activities and excursions.

No previous language experience is required for high school summer programs.

On a four-week High School Summer Cultural Exploration program you will:

• Live with a carefully selected host family or stay in a dorm with an On-Site Coordinator, depending on the country you choose
• Attend language or cultural classes five days per week with other Intrax students
• Participate in weekday activities. Activities vary by host country and include: museum visits, film screenings, sports, cooking classes, and walking tours
• Explore your host country through organized and guided weekend excursions
