Your
HIGH SCHOOL
Going to school in another country will be
different and exciting. Take the opportunity to try
new subjects, activities, sports and clubs!
Attending a different high school and maybe
even taking classes in a foreign language is a
challenge, but it is also rewarding. It will
broaden your horizons, expose you to new
things and lead to personal growth. In addition,
the experience will provide you with skills that
will contribute to your future academic studies
and career. NEW HIGH SCHOOL EXPERIENCE
As well as compulsory courses, in most
destinations it is also possible to select from a
variety of elective subjects. This is your chance
to try something completely new and perhaps
develop a passion for a subject area and career
path that you had never considered before. HIGH SCHOOL LIFE AND ACTIVITIES
You’ll also have the chance to get involved in
after school clubs and activities – a great way to
meet new friends and have some fun.

Many things at your new school will be
different from what you are accustomed to. You
might encounter differentschool rules, subjects,
dress codes or teaching methods. You will be
surprised how quickly you get used to your new
school enviroment.
Some subjects will be compulsory, but in most
countries you will have the opportunity to
choose some subjects yourself. Getting involved
in after school activities is a great way to meet
friends. Why not try a new sport or join the
school band? In some countries, extracurricular
activities are community based.
