High School Abroad, Summer Camps and Adult Programs

Everything's fine. Thanks for asking. At first, I have noticed a great change in the method of work. I already knew that doing an international baccalaureate would have nothing to do with doing a normal baccalaureate. But, as I was accustomed to another method of work. I was a little surprised by the level of this school in Montreal. But that's what I and my parents were looking for. And I know that this is going to be very useful for me to study at the university. I must say that I am very happy in general with the classes and for the support I feel from the teachers and my host family. They are 100% amazing!

My trip is going fantastic! Everyone at the school (both students and teachers) have been so friendly and Florence is an amazing city. My host family is also super friendly and the food that they cook is delicious.

My homestay and high school exchange to France for a month was one of the best things I have ever decided to do. It was such an incredible adventure that I will remember for the rest of my life. Nacel ensured that it was safe, easy, and super fun. Signing up for the program was super simple, the staff was lovely and they would always respond to emails fast. They made traveling easy and stress-free, checked up on me regularly, and chose the perfect place for my exchange. I couldn't have asked for a better host family, they were so amazing. I not only improved my French language immensely but I built so many friendships and learned so much about French culture. If you are thinking of doing an exchange I definitely recommend Nacel!

My experience at the High school program in Chile was great! My family was very loving and made me feel like I was part of the family. At school, it was great because everyone was curious about me and I got to make lots of friends. That is where my Spanish really improved.
Although it was a short stay, I felt like I got to know Chilean culture and history very well. My host family took me to explore different parts of Santiago, see the biggest skyscraper in South America, visit local museums and government buildings. I was amazed to see how similar our cultures are, and how easy it is to adapt to living there.
The Nacel staff was supportive every step of the way. The process went smoothly and I felt accompanied every step of the way.

An unforgettable experience that will stay with me for life. 8 weeks was a good amount to do this for. After all this time I can say that it has greatly increased my ability to understand. It has also provided more details about Frace and in particular the Piccardy region. Amiens is a wonderful city with the cathedral being perhaps one of the best cathedrals I have ever seen. Ultimately, I would recommend this to any student whether they know a little or a lot of French as the experience is unique and very fun. I loved the High school and Homestay in France experience!

I’ve recently come back after completing a 4 month High School Exchange to Chile. I had the experience of a lifetime. As I am British it took me a while to find a company that accepts British students, as exchanges aren’t as popular here. After I found Nacel I couldn’t wait to go on exchange and their support was amazing. I also was given the opportunity to visit Easter Island on my exchange. It was such an eye-opening experience and throughout the whole 4 months I had a great time: I wish I could have stayed longer. If you are thinking about an exchange I would 100% recommend that you go for it. You won’t regret your decision and you’ll have such a great experience. I’ve returned home with lifelong friends, the experience of a lifetime and being speak to speak another language. ¡Gracias!

"Dear Nacel! How are you? I’m fine! Time ran so fast and I leave France tomorrow! I’ve learned so much during my stay here in France, either in Brittany or in the Pyrénées. Everything was fine. Thank you for caring on me during this time! Au revoir!"

One of the nice things of attempting to speak a foreign language is that you always have an excuse should you find yourself unable today what you wish to. Alas, I now write in my mother tongue but still find myself unable to express my sincere thanks. Families that were once surrogate become incredibly close, friends at school that were once stop-gap measures to avoid boredom become treasured companions. An unfamiliar landscape becomes a much loved scene. To conclude then, it may be cliché, but I am left with no other option than to, in no uncertain terms, absolutely endorse.

The school was helpful in teaching keigo and honorifics. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable. I met many students who were interested in touring local towns and having adventures. The weekend trips were very fun and well organized with a lot of activities planned. The host family was very nice and helped a lot with learning Japanese culture and also just practicing the language in general. Speaking only in Japanese in the house really made me feel fully immersed in Japan while I was there.

I went to Asturias, Spain for my junior year of school in 2023/2024. There are very few negative things that I can think to say about my trip. I loved my host parents (Marioli and Jose) and my host sisters. Everyone from my family to the students in my institution were supportive, helpful, kind, and extremely patient and understanding when it came to learning Spanish. Some of my favorite memories of Spain are buying pounds upon pounds of strawberries with my host sister who I now consider my very best friend, and eating them at the beach. Another favorite is coming home from school every day and eating lunch and talking for hours on end with my host mother and host sister. Every single experience that I had there I cherished, even when school was hard or when I struggled with the language. My support system was large, and no matter what I was having a hard time with, my host parents, teachers, and the Nacel staff were always more than happy to help me right away. I cannot say enough good things about this program and Spain, and I recommend it to anyone considering going abroad.

I am the mother of Adrienne. All went well with her time in France. Nacel was an excellent support. Her host family was perfect - kind, warm and supportive - Adrienne remains in contact with them and will see them this summer again. Her school was great! the teachers were kind and supportive. The only problem was that Adrienne was homesick. But that is her nature and she worked hard to deal with this. Thank you so much for all you have done. This has been a life changing experience for Adrienne. All the best.
