Enhance your College application
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.
Earn College Credits
With exciting and challenging courses offered at distinguished universities, college credits are offered on every AIFS Summer Advantage program. You will have the opportunity to experience college living before you actually attend college. The college credits are transferable to most colleges and universities nationwide.
Learn a new language
With the growing global market, speaking languages and being able to communicate with different cultures is crucial. 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 key languages such as Mandarin Chinese and Spanish.
Broaden your horizons
AIFS Summer Advantage is not just about the many courses, activities and excursions that are included in each program. Making friends from all over the world will help you better understand different cultures, plus balancing the academic, cultural and social elements of the program will greatly increase your confidence and independence.
Have fun
AIFS Summer Advantage includes opportunities for sports, visits to the theater and concerts and numerous excursions in some of the world’s great cities; plus plenty of time to chat with new friends.
