High School Abroad<\/p>\n

Semester Abroad<\/h1>\n

A six-month period combines real international experience with a manageable duration. It offers enough time to arrive, but still requires good planning with school, family and program.<\/p>\n

What does a half-year mean?<\/h2>\n

In a half-year program, you spend around five to six months in the host country. You either attend a full semester at a high school or combine two trimesters. The half-year period is considered a good balance: you have enough time to settle in and improve your language, but you can usually return seamlessly to your German level.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
