Dear Student & Parents,

At Sol Abroad our mission is very simple: to treat you the same way we wanted to be treated when we studied abroad. This approach makes us both a leader and an innovator in high school study abroad programs.

We provide you with a complete study abroad experience, including interactive Spanish language classes, unique travel excursions, and an array of cultural activities of lasting value. We’ve developed our High School Program based on nearly two decades of international experience and a passion for foreign cultures and languages.

In an increasingly globalizing world, we recognize the vital importance of cross-cultural understanding and have created our value-based educational program accordingly. Through our program you will cultivate relationships, language skills, and memories to last a lifetime. And while you are abroad, we will emphasize the importance of learning about the unique cultures and people in each of our specially selected program sites.

With Sol Abroad, you will experience a genuine cultural immersion through housing with carefully chosen local host families, quality Spanish classes, stimulating excursions, and some of the most rewarding cultural activities possible. We share your excitement and look forward to seeing you soon!

Sol Abroad Team

Travel outings are fundamental and included in all programs. We carefully choose weekend excursions that allow you to discover more about the country in which you are studying.

  • Homestay

Each of our programs involves homestay with a local host family. Living and sharing your experience abroad with a host family is one of the important highlights of studying overseas. In fact, this can be the most enriching and lasting aspect of studying in a foreign country. Many students often maintain relationships with their host families well beyond the conclusion of the program.Our host families make up an important part of our team. They are carefully selected and interviewed, and have extensive prior experience.

  • Meals

Three meals a day are provided and these are a great way to spend time with your family and experience the local cuisine. We can accommodate any dietary requirement, such as kosher, vegan, and vegetarian. While traveling on weekend excursions, your host family will prepare you a snack or lunch. Your onsite director will inform you which meals will be included during your excursions.

  • Community Service & Volunteer Opportunities

We offer several unique volunteer opportunities at each site, such as assisting at nutrition centers, teaching English, or any other local service-oriented program. Community service is one of the best ways to give back to the community.

This will cover important topics such as health, safety, academics, host families, and cultural awareness, and end with a tour of your host city.
