High School Study Abroad Programs
You can absolutely study abroad in high school! Your best options for participating in teen travel programs are to either go abroad during a school break, like summer or spring break, or to go on an exchange program for a full academic year. The right choice for you will depend on your budget, how old you are, and your GPA.
Doing high school study abroad during a school break is considerably cheaper than studying abroad for an entire year, and there aren’t as many logistics to consider, like making sure you’ll get the school credit you need. However, if you have serious academic goals for yourself in college, a high school exchange program will leave college admissions officers impressed!
The requirements to study abroad in high school are usually:
- A GPA of 3.0 or higher
- Permission from your parents and/or school
- Financial capability
- A certain level of maturity and sense of responsibility
