Classic Semester & Year Program Benefits

Students on our long programs frequently say they become part of their host community and feel like a local. They build networks of friends that can last a lifetime. Their knowledge of the country increases and their capacity to put matters in perspective matures and grows.

Attend a local school where you’ll have the opportunity to try new subjects or extend your understanding of familiar subjects. A long program is a commitment there will also be many opportunities to have fun and enjoy your overseas experience. If learning another language is your motivation, our long programs provide an opportunity to finetune your skills. Your will have time to adjust, make mistakes, practice and learn. You’ll gain a level of fluency and an accent that only comes with prolonged immersion.

Being away from home can be a challenging experience and it is not for everyone. It’s not a holiday and you are not a guest. Homesickness & language development can be a challenge, and you will find that as you negotiate these and other little hurdles along the way, you’ll develop more confidence and independence.

Classic Semester & Year program students may be placed anywhere in their country of choice. Some destinations offer an Area Choice for an additional fee (see each Destination page for details).
