Big experiences. Lifelong memories. All in one summer.
AFS-USA summer study abroad programs bring together high school students from around the world who are eager to explore new cultures and make meaningful connections. Depending on the program, participants may live with a welcoming host family, stay in dorms, or be housed in group accommodations—all offering safe, enriching environments that support cultural immersion. Whether attending classes, joining local activities, or exploring regional traditions, students experience life in a new culture firsthand. These short-term programs offer big impact—helping students see the world from new perspectives while gaining a deeper understanding of themselves and the communities they call home.
