The AIFS Value - Why Study Abroad with AIFS?
Just think, a typical day while abroad could include such unforgettable experiences as classes taught on-site at museums or other historical places, theater performances, guided tours or social activities organized by AIFS staff. You will also have the support of the experienced staff and counselors who work for AIFS. More than 1.2 million students and teachers who have participated in AIFS programs over the past 45 years have found study abroad a life changing experience. With AIFS Summer Advantage you get an "experience" not just a program.
Enhance your college application with college credits and experience
If you are applying to college in the near future, you know how important it is to have a strong application. Right now it may include sports, academic distinctions or other achievements, but think how much stronger it would be if it included college credits from a foreign university, study of a foreign language and first-hand knowledge of another culture. Your international experience will make you stand out from other applicants.
Learn a new language
With the growing global market, speaking languages and being able to communicate with different cultures is more important than ever. Many modern careers in international business require a second or even third language. With AIFS Summer Advantage, you can learn or improve your understanding of Mandarin Chinese.
Rise to the challenge
AIFS Summer Advantage curriculum is made up of interesting and academically challenging courses that guarantee even the most talented students will be satisfyingly stimulated. In addition, balancing the academic, cultural and social elements of the program will greatly increase your confidence and independence.
Expand your cultural awareness
The learning experience of AIFS Summer Advantage extends beyond the many courses, activities and excursions that are included in each program. By immersing yourself in another culture you will notice the small differences that make each location unique. Whether it is the time meals are served, how people address each other or even the local fashion, every detail makes up the fabric that forms the local culture.
Have fun!
Every AIFS Summer Advantage program includes a wide range of cultural activities including excursions in some of the world’s great cities; as well as opportunities for sports, visits to the theater and concerts, plus plenty of time to chat with new friends.
