High School Overview

At LEAPAbroad we are committed to ensuring that each student has a memorable experience abroad, both academically and culturally. Students come away from our programs with a deeper cultural awareness and personal independence that is unique to living and studying in a foreign country. Our program emphasizes language acquisition and cultural immersion for students at all levels of proficiency.

LEAPAbroad offers two options for High School Abroad groups: the first option is to send a group of students to study abroad in Sevilla, Spain for a set period of time, from 2 weeks to an entire summer. The second option is to bring a group of students to Europe and to travel.
