About this opportunity
The Greenheart Travel High School Summer Abroad Program offers short-term immersion experiences during the summer break. The program includes two tracks: High School Summer Abroad, where students live with host families and attend local high schools for one to two months, and Teen Summer Language Camps featuring one to eight weeks of language classes with cultural excursions.
The High School Summer Abroad track is open to students aged 14 to 18 with a minimum 2.75 GPA, with destinations including Argentina, Costa Rica, and New Zealand. Teen Summer Language Camps welcome students aged 12 to 18 across eight countries including France, Germany, Italy, Japan, South Korea, and Spain, with 20 hours per week of language instruction.
Participants develop language skills, cultural awareness, and independence through daily interaction with host families and peers from around the world. The shorter duration makes this an accessible option for students seeking international experience without committing to a full academic term.
Scholarships including the First Time Traveler Scholarship of up to $12,000 are available.

Frequently asked questions
What distinguishes the summer abroad track from the language camp track?
Summer abroad placements last 1-2 months with full school enrollment. Language camps run 1-8 weeks with structured classes (20 hours weekly) and cultural excursions, offering a more guided group experience.
How do participants benefit from such a short-term international experience?
Research shows even short-term immersion builds lasting language skills, cultural competence, and independence. Participants often report increased confidence and motivation for further international experiences.
What support systems are available for participants during the summer program?
Each participant has a personal program manager, receives pre-departure orientation, and has access to Greenheart's 24/7 emergency support line. Host families are carefully vetted and trained by the organization.
