| High School Abroad |
Why don’t you take up, ‘travel with purpose? Do get yourself enrolled any one or more public or private high schools, which will help to expand your cultural horizons. The underlying purpose of these short-term and sometimes long-term cultural programs are designed to add a global perspective to secondary education by immersing the students (chiefly high school graduates in foreign languages, exciting cultural excursions, the arts and architecture. The basic idea is to equip students with a sense of accomplishment and exploration which will help them to break down cultural barriers and realize in the truest sense of the term as to what it means to be a citizen of the world.
Consider some examples:
Britain
Explore the homeland of Shakespeare, and the Beatles. From the bustling metropolis of London to the quiet beauty of the English countryside, ride in double-decker buses and learn about the Royal Family. Become an expert in British slang and expressions. Drink afternoon tea with your hostess or develop a passion for football /soccer, learn about England's rich history and get a feel of the current multicultural society.
Ecuador & Galapagos Islands
Get a taste of Spanish language and culture, become a conservation volunteer, traverse through the Amazon rainforest; clamber up on horseback to the Andes highlands undertake and a guided boat excursion through the amazing Galapagos Islands.
Australia
The land of the kangaroo and the cuddly koala bear and eucalyptus trees!!! Travel across the country’s varied landscape; learn about its unique geographical features. Go off on a sailing cruise through the Whitsunday Islands, make friends and swim with the sprightly dolphins; why not visit a village of aboriginals and learn about their culture? |
