High School Study Abroad Programs

High school, for many, is a period of concentrated self-development, a time where the realization begins to take place that there is a great big world around us. In fact, there’s nothing that can put into perspective your own high school experience like going abroad! In uprooting from familiarity and venturing out to experience life in another culture, you will realize many valuable lessons about yourself and wherever it is that you call home. Are youth travel programs the right move for you? Start looking for the best high school program abroad now!

Experience of a lifetime

Our 15-year-old daughter had the experience of a lifetime on her trip to Costa Rica with Westcoast Connections. From before we even registered her for this trip until after she got home, we were impressed with the communications and support we received from the Westcoast staff. We felt confident about her safety, health and well-being throughout the trip. The travel, accommodations and activities were all excellent. From a social perspective, she went on this trip without knowing a single other participant and came home with 20+ new, wonderful friends. The staff did a great job making sure the social dynamics of the group were positive and inclusive.
