[quote=Anonymous]My son is in 8th and had been planning on doing this for 10th grade in Costa Rica or other Latin American country (his preference). We had just started researching the options but I’ve heard of lots of positive experiences. With Covid, I’m not sure it’s going to happen for him in high school but we remain hopeful. We talked with our public HS school guidance counselor and they had said “go for it - we will make it work credit-wise”. I’d heard others say their school gave them a harder time so it might be something to look into. I heard good things about AFS and YFU so those were the programs we are looking into now. If money is tight I’ve also heard you can go through the Rotary club study abroad programs. The state department also has very prestigious, highly competitive placements in language-demand countries (Arabic, Hindi, the Balkans etc) for high schoolers. NLSI is one of them ; there may be more. [/quote]
