Our Thailand High School Fall Semester Program is ideal for teens deferring a new year at high school year or the start of college for a semester abroad studying new ways of life and traditional Thai culture. Teens who choose to study abroad during this time of year typically want a break from home education to explore new interests and broaden their horizons for the future. With convenient study later in the year, the Thailand High School Fall Semester Program is particularly interesting for students who want to learn about Thailand’s rich history, with its longest reigning monarch and origins in early Buddhism. Students who choose cultural study in the fall experience important events celebrated for both the King and Queen of Thailand and ancient Buddhist ceremonies.  

 

The Thailand High School Fall Semester Program also provides students with great flexibility to extend their cultural study experience in Thailand, or combine the program with student travel to other neighboring countries in Southeast Asia. If you’re not sure whether you want to study abroad in Thailand for a semester or full year, this program is perfect for you because it allows you to first experience the wonderful life and culture Thailand has to offer. 

 

As a Thailand High School Fall Semester Program student you'll live with a carefully selected host family in the local area of your placement school to further enhance cultural immersion. Host families are designated based on their ability to facilitate social learning positively. Typically, host families will have teenage children also attending your placement school who will support you in meeting new friends and your ongoing integration into local teenage society. Host families and new school friends play an equally important role in helping Thailand High School Fall Semester Program students get more from their Thailand experience.
