Interested in gaining Spanish fluency before you go? Moving to a new culture and staying in unfamiliar surroundings without your normal support structure can be very stressful, even to a well-adjusted student.
Sending a student with pre-existing conditions on a long-term exchange program could exacerbate whatever challenges the student was previously facing.
In order to ensure the safety of our participants, we must be rigorous in our pre-screening of all high school abroad applicants. All students who currently experience one or more of these conditions will be required to submit an addendum to the terms and conditions as well as a letter of support from their current mental health specialist.
We encourage you to discuss your specific situation with us directly, before securing these documents. Please note that students who have been diagnosed with ADD or ADHD will not be guaranteed any academic accommodations plans by the host school abroad.

So, what about credits? Neither Greenheart Travel nor the host school abroad provides high school credit. All credit must be granted through your home school in the U. All U. In Spain, we cannot guarantee your host school will provide you an official transcript unless you complete a full academic year program, take exams, and have good behavior and attendance at your high school.
You must have good behavior, attendance, and performance in order for the school to fulfill any requests for documentation. Then, you should take this documentation back to your home school as proof of your participation in the program. Your home school is responsible for awarding you credit for this program or not.
You should meet with your U. History, before or after your time abroad. Greenheart Travel will be able to provide information about the general curriculum for your age level in Spain , but y ou will not know your course schedule until after you arrive in country and start attending school.

In your free time, you can play soccer, basketball, go swimming, and more! Getting involved is the best way to meet people and make friends.
Have you had a look at our program dates? They change each year and they change from one school to another. The trimester ends when the students take the trimester exams.

I was pretty nervous to take it considering there are a lot of native speakers and plenty of upper-level Spanish classes here, but I did really well! I know I would not have scored this high without my time in Spain. The best way to learn about a new culture and language is to be fully immersed in it which is why all Greenheart Travel high school abroad students live with local host families. All of our host families are volunteers and will treat you as a member of their family.
Prospective host families undergo a rigorous screening process. Participants can rest assured that only suitable host families will be selected. In fact, many of our current host families have hosted students in the past, showing what an impactful experience it was.
We will connect you with your host family prior to your arrival in your host country. By e-mailing and speaking with them before arriving, it will help break the ice when you finally meet in person. It will also show that you are as excited to live with them as they are to host you! Host families have many reasons why they want to welcome you! Many host families love the experience of cultural exchange — they learn just as much about your country as you do theirs. Many are also former exchange students and want to return the favor, or they have children who have gone or will go to study in the U.
