Teen Life Experience - High School Spring Semester Program
4.5 months | Between Jan - Jun | Host Family | Age 15 - 19
Our Thailand High School Spring Semester Program is ideal for teens planning a semester abroad to experience high school life in another country whilst learning about Thailand’s fascinating culture. Thailand High School Spring Semester Programs are especially popular with students interested in Thailand’s Buddhist calendar because this time of year includes both the famous Songkran Festival for Thai New Year and the opening proceedings of a new academic year at high school, whereby students focus for the year ahead with meditation practices. Both such times are very important events, both in Thailand and a student’s high school life.
The Thailand High School Spring Semester Programs also is a great choice for pre college students wanting to explore alternative study abroad before starting in the fall. In Thailand students attend high school up until their freshman year at university and therefore spring programs offer a unique chance to experience college equivalent education in one of Asia’s top student travel destinations.
As a Thailand High School Spring 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 Spring Semester Program students get more from their Thailand experience.
