Program Overview:

Through a partnership between The Council on International Educational Exchange (CIEE), a non-profit study abroad program, and Northern Highlands, students (grades 10-12) will have an opportunity to study abroad during the summer, earn college credit, and/or receive 50 community service hours depending upon the program.

CIEE is the longest running study abroad program in the US and has broad applications across the Northern Highlands curriculum. CIEE, a nonprofit study abroad and intercultural exchange organization, provides students an opportunity to focus on either a world language (French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Arabic, German, Italian, Mandarin, Korean, or Japanese) or on various thematic programs (Arts & Culture, Business, Leadership & Service, Social Change, and STEM). Students who participate in one of the Language Learning Programs can elect to receive four (4) college credits from Tulane University ($150 transcript fee).  Language Learning Programs are 4 weeks long. The Theme-Based Programs are 3 weeks long, and students may earn up to 50 community service credits for their experiences. All programs are held at CIEE Study Centers.

Current freshmen, sophomores, and juniors are eligible for merit and need-based scholarships (10%-100% of tuition). Graduating seniors are eligible for merit scholarships only. CIEE also offers STAMP testing and issues Global Seals of Biliteracy for students who qualify.
