SPI's High School Study Abroad Program

Study Abroad Program:

 

On SPI Study Abroad programs, the traditional classroom takes a back seat to exciting activities around the city, conversations with locals, and weekend journeys to places where history, art, and culture come to life! Globalizing thousands of students’ lives since 1996. 

SPI's Mission: 

 

In  1996, SPI programs were founded by language educators to provide students an authentic homestay immersion experience coupled with a cross-cultural leadership and community service component.  Students develop global perspectives and leadership skills that give them a competitive advantage in college admissions and future endeavors.
