High School Abroad, Summer camps, and Study abroad opportunities with Nacel.

I am a 17-year-old costarican student that had the privilege to travel and study in Shanghai, China for the good part of a year. This was undoubtedly the best experience in my life so far. The opportunity I had gave me the chance to expand my view on the world, grow and learn about new cultures, and make friends from around the globe, not to mention the fact that I also learned a new language. Every aspect of living and studying on my had huge impact on my personal and educational growth, I grew to become a mature young adult, learned about things I would have never experienced in Costa Rica. I attended Saint Paul American High School-Shanghai, the education I received was superb and it thoroughly surpassed my expectations. When I look back and think about key moments and things, I realize that there was something I never considered important before embarking on this journey, this was the chance to travel on my own and visit some of the most culturally rich places in the world. Looking back on this journey all I can say is Wow!, this experience has definitely marked my life and I will be forever grateful to everyone who made this possible.

"It was truly organized wonderfully! The staff did their absolute best to help make my stay in Germany phenomenal! I had the most wonderful time in Germany. The German coordinator, Mrs. Jelka B***, truly put thought into which family I would be best suited for. I had the opportunity to consistently speak the language with the family and they helped me learn and progress. I was fortunate enough to have seen more of Germany than I could have ever asked for. I am so glad that I had the opportunity to go to Germany and immerse myself in the life and culture of a German for four weeks with the V****. I had the best four weeks of my life with them. My interest for cultures and languages has dramatically increased and I hope to have the opportunity to travel and immerse myself in the culture and language of other countries even more in the future. Thank you so much!"

We talked to our daugther yesterday and she was so happy! She loves it in Rodez-the town, the school, the school staff and the Nacel staff.  She also said she has girls to sit with at lunch and that everyone has been so nice to her. She also said that she is speaking French more and her understanding gets better every day. The experience she is having now is what she expected from the program so I think this is a good match for her. 

Thank you again for all you and the team have done to help with this transition
