For students who are looking for a broader experience of life in a foreign country, Nacel International offers High school programs during a term, a semester or a full academic year. Students will mainly live in a host family or choose a residence and attend a public or private high school, giving them the opportunity to learn about another culture and improve their language skills.

ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS : Participating in a High School Program means total immersion in the host country life, and as such it is an ideal way to achieve proficiency in the spoken language of the country as well as gain a complete cross-cultural experience. The High School Program is very selective : Every student must be interviewed in the home country before being accepted. If a student’s dossier does not confirm that the participant satisfies the requirements listed below, Nacel International retains the right to refuse the student.

Each student needs to comply with the following requirements :
• Age specification according to the country,
• 2 or more years of language study with good grades,
• An above-average academic record,
• A previous experience of living away from home,
• An interest in learning about another culture and language,
• A willingness to make new friends and to share the daily life of a host family,
• An open and flexible attitude.

Accreditation for courses taken while on the program is the responsibility of the participant.

CREDITS/TRANSFERS

The student is not guaranteed placement in a certain grade level, or that transferable credits will be granted, or that a diploma will be awarded at the end of the High school program. These decisions remain at the entire discretion of the national educational authorities. Nacel International is not responsible for the procedures needed in this process.

APPLICATION DEADLINE : Applications for High school programs are accepted until March for sessions starting in August-September and until September for sessions starting in January. Please check accurate deadlines for each program.
Early application is highly recommended. A student interested in this program should contact us immediately and email us the pre-application to secure a place.
 
Then the student will have to carefully fill the full High School dossier provided by the receiving country. The full dossier should be sent directly to the receiving office, which will be in touch throughout the application procedure and the student’s stay.
