The AFS Program<\/h3>\n

After your host parents greet you with traditional hospitality, it shouldn’t be long before you feel at home in their open, friendly community. By going to a local high school, you\u2019ll be totally immersed in a new language and customs, and what you learn during the day will be reinforced at night when you spend time with your host family. This is your chance to break out of your comfort zone and join in this diverse and ever-evolving culture.<\/p>\n

Your high school<\/h3>\n

During your year abroad you\u2019ll either be enrolled in a liberal arts high school for technical careers and business school, or a prep school for students planning on attending university. You\u2019ll go to class from around 8 am to 4 pm. Schools in the Netherlands tend to encourage independent study and research. You\u2019ll spend a lot of time working in small groups and by yourself on your own projects and assignments. To help you integrate with your school and host family, you\u2019ll be offered Rosetta Stone to start improving your Dutch language skills.<\/p>\n

Returning Home<\/strong><\/h3>\n

“Life-changing” is hard to describe, yet it\u2019s nearly always the first thing that AFSers say when asked about their experience abroad.
\n“Transformed” is another one. When you return home, if you\u2019re like most AFSers, you\u2019ll bring with you a sense of accomplishment unlike any other. You\u2019ll have gained maturity and independence, discovered new passions, and feel like you can do anything you set your mind to. That transformation isn\u2019t visible only to you, though – others see it as well. AFSers gain critical skills for college and careers, ranging from language fluency to intercultural competence and critical reasoning.\u00a0“Life-changing” means it\u2019s only the beginning.<\/p>\n
