Program Schedule

Summer programs last six to eight weeks and run from mid to late June to early August.  All students will be enrolled in language classes, and each program will include an element of community service. 

The semester and academic year programs offer classes at a local high school in the host country that will immerse the NSLIY student in a school with native speakers, with a similar array of subjects to that found in most American high schools.  Supplemental lessons in the language of the host country will be offered in addition to the regular high school enrolment.  The program will last from three to five months in the case of the semester program and eight to eleven months, in the case of the year program.   Participation in a community service opportunity may be offered. 

Classes and programs are subject to change.
