Studying abroad while in high school is one of the most effective ways to bolster your educational background and resume for when you apply to college. In addition to this, it also grows your practical life skills and independence before venturing out into the world as an adult. Our programs are designed with these things in mind; giving our students the opportunity to gain a valuable, rigorous, and life changing academic experience that will glow brightly on their college essays and applications, and to allow them to put some miles on their soul, and to experience the world in greater detail as a student abroad. All of this is done by giving our students the opportunity to explore their host country independently, but with the structure and supervision provided by our compassionate and highly skilled staff. Studying abroad in high school is truly one of the best, and most rewarding, experiences any student can engage in before heading off to college.

"Every staff member has an incredible love and passion for not only the country and the classes they teach but the students as well.

"As the first time away from family, World Class Programs made it amazing! I was able to learn so much and the teachers are great at what they do and are so fun to be with. It felt like we were actually living in Italy and not just tourists!" - Iris
"I could not possibly feel better about recommending this program! There was an excellent combination of education and leisure, and I felt extremely comfortable about my daughter's health and safety with the staff members who were with her. They were able to see so many amazing things and the value for what we paid was unparalleled. Could not be more thrilled with this program and will be sending two kids with them next summer! Thank you to Derek and the staff for an amazing experience!" - Melissa
