The land of opportunity, with its diverse “High Schools,” offers students a broad array of subjects and extracurricular activities, helping to foster individual talent while encouraging teamwork.
Spending an academic year in the United States doesn’t just boost your English; it also opens doors to valuable networking, leadership experiences, and personal growth.
With such cultural and geographical diversity, students can find their niche, connect with local communities, and embrace the unique variety that makes the U.S. so distinct.

Study programmes
The American educational approach, known for its emphasis on active participation and fostering creativity, equips young people to face the challenges of a globalized future.
From debate clubs and sports competitions to science and technology exhibitions, each student uncovers new passions and builds relationships that can last a lifetime.
In the United States, we offer two types of programs for an academic year: the J1 program and the F1 program.
- J1 Program: This program is perfect for students seeking a cultural exchange experience. J1 students are placed in public High Schools and can take part in a variety of extracurricular activities. The program promotes cultural exchange by allowing students to live with volunteer host families and experience American life firsthand.
- F1 Program: Unlike the J1, the F1 program is designed for students who prefer a more academically focused experience in a specific school setting. This program allows students to choose their destination and offers greater flexibility regarding the duration of their stay. F1 students typically have more control over their academic curriculum.
- Each of these programs has its benefits, depending on the student’s needs, family situation, and budget. We are here to provide personalized advice and help you select the option that best fits your educational and personal goals.

An academic year in the United States means becoming part of the famous American “High School,” with its clubs, sports, and social events.
We collaborate with high-quality school districts and recognized private schools that stand out for their modern facilities, excellent sports programs, and wide range of subjects (from robotics to fine arts). The goal is for the student to develop their potential in a comprehensive way.
Public schools
Public schools in the United States are managed by school districts, which are responsible for coordinating the curriculum and overseeing the admission of international students.
These schools are typically well-equipped, with modern classrooms and a wide range of extracurricular activities, including sports, music, theater, and debate clubs, fostering a holistic learning experience.
This option offers a unique multicultural experience. Designed to reflect the local diversity, public schools allow international students to integrate into varied communities and practice English in real-life situations.
Private schools
Private schools in the United States are known for their high academic standards, small class sizes, and a more personalized approach to the development of each student.
These institutions typically require a strong academic record and a good command of English as admission requirements, ensuring that each student is prepared to make the most of this educational experience.
In addition, many private schools offer specialized programs such as the International Baccalaureate (IB), Advanced Placement (AP), and bilingual options in English and other languages.
Students have access to first-class facilities, a wide range of extracurricular activities, and personalized counseling for academic and career guidance.
This exclusive environment fosters leadership, creativity, and solid preparation for university and the future.
