School Year Abroad (SYA) is a prestigious study abroad program that places high school students in France, Italy, or Spain for a full academic year of immersive cultural and language learning. Students live with carefully selected host families, attend local schools, and participate in extracurricular activities including sports and community service, gaining a comprehensive understanding of their host country across all seasons. The program features a rigorous academic curriculum and culminates in a capstone project where students design their own experiential learning initiatives. Founded in 1964, SYA is one of the most transformative academic opportunities available to high school students, offering an experience that builds language fluency, global perspective, and personal growth in ways few programs can match.
