Is Studying Abroad in the Summer Worth It?
When compared side-by-side with other summer activities, such as high school summer camps, travel tours, and enrichment activities for teens, Anchor high school summer abroad programs participants gain a more global perspective, improve language skills (with test scores to prove it), build independence, apply learning in an international environment, and form lifelong connections.
On program, our high school participants:
- Have fun, experiencing new settings, sounds, food, traditions, and more.
- Immerse themselves in local communities, along with new friends from around the U.S.
- Develop hard and soft skills in the real world, setting themselves up for success in language proficiency or a topic they’re passionate about.
Only about 2% of U.S. high school students participate in study abroad programs each year. This makes it an especially unique opportunity for teens to stand out when applying to college, internships, and jobs!
