High School Abroad Guanin Center
This is a year-round program for individuals and groups, studying abroad isn’t just for college students. A year spent studying abroad during high school is the perfect way for you to gain the international perspective, life skills, independence, and maturity that could make the difference when seeking admission to your top college.
With Guanin, located in la Piedra, "High School Abroad" is the best option to take part in an engaging and exciting program, designed to immerse you fully into a new culture. We’ll offer the structure, resources, and support you need to make the experience of your life.
Culture immersion
There’s no better way to immerse yourself into another culture than by living with a local family. Not only will your host family provide you with daily meals and a place to stay, they’ll also help you improve your Spanish skills, introduce you to local customs, and offer support and guidance in an unfamiliar environment.
Our host families are as diverse as our High School abroad students. Whomever you’re placed with, all host families are carefully screened and matched based on personality profiles and common interests.
Through your host family, you’ll build a second home and develop relationships that endure long after you’ve finished your High School Abroad program.
