Students, Live Abroad This Year...

With AFS you can live and study in over 50 different countries, for a year, a semester, or summer. Learn about a new culture by living with a host family, studying in a local high school, participating in community events, and meeting new people of all ages.


  • New Family and Friends

Your hosts, who are carefully selected by AFS, will welcome you into their lives as a member of their family. In turn, you arrive fresh with the chance to learn how other people relate to each other as individuals. Many AFSers have found these new family relationships endure and enrich their lives long after they've returned home.


  • Study Abroad

School is where you meet other students, and learn about the culture in the classroom. AFSers attend school regularly, as at home, and take course including the language and history of the country, as well as math and sciences.


  • Special for High School Graduates

To build your experience base before college, you can devote a semester to vital community service work caring for underprivileged children in countries like Brazil, while living with a family and taking intensive Portuguese language courses.
