Program Overview

Program Description:

Our High School Year Abroad programme is geared toward highly motivated students between 15 and 17 years of age, from EU member countries, who would like to spend part of their school year or a full academic year in a High School / Secondary School in Germany. It is ideal for Transition Year students who wish to improve their language skills and participate in regular classes in a German boarding school. Living amongst German classmates, international students enhance their language skills and prepare to pass the "Abitur", which is required for university admittance in Germany.
