Homestay and School Immersion in Argentina : Description

Our Homestay and School Integration program offers a unique way to experience the daily and routine of young Argentinian teenagers. The participant lives with a local host family and goes to school (except during school holidays) with the host sister or brother, like any other student.

During their high school summer abroad in Argentina, students are welcomed as a new family member and spend their evenings and weekends sharing the family’s activities. Students learn through the constant immersion in the local language environment. They cannot speak their native language, and that will cause Spanish language skills to improve quickly and efficiently. The homestay and school integration in Argentina is a good way to prepare for a longer academic program abroad.

We place our students in public schools in small cities, or semi-private and semi public schools (private schools on request) in bigger cities. High schools in Argentina are well organized, have high academic standards, and offer a friendly and supportive environment. Students will be placed in the following provinces during their high school summer abroad in Argentina: Córdoba, Santa Fé and Mendoza

The short-term program offers the opportunity to experience Argentinean lifestyle and culture from the inside and not as a tourist. It is the best way to improve language skills and integrate the everyday life of another country.

Homestay and School Immersion in Argentina : Extra activities

The new family member is expected to take part in the daily activities of his or her host family. Integration into the family is the ultimate goal of the homestay experience. However host families are not required to organize activities, visits or excursion. The participant comes with his/her own spending money to cover the cost of activities during his/her high school summer abroad in Argentina.  

Homestay and School Immersion in Argentina : Accommodation

Host family, full board.

Students are hosted in warm Argentinean host families, who want to share their everyday life with a foreign student. The typical Argentinean family is made up of the mother, father and two or three children. Families are really close knit and include the extended family: grandparents, uncles, aunts etc...

Our families volunteer to host a student which means they are not paid to host a foreign student. They are motivated by cultural exchange and international friendship. The host family provides accommodation and meals at home. Meals eaten outside the home (including school lunches) must be paid for separately by the student.

Homestay and School Immersion in Argentina : FAQ

When you choose one-to-one language lessons at the teacher's home, we carefully select a teacher and their family based on your requirements and provide you with a complete profile. If you feel that the teacher offered or the town are not the right fit for you, we explore alternative options and try our best to accommodate your needs.

When you book a homestay immersion program, while you do not have the option to choose the host family, we strive to match you with the best possible one who is interested in welcoming you into their home for a cultural exchange.
