The AFS Program<\/strong><\/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

You\u2019ll likely be enrolled in a public secondary school. Your typical day will begin around 8:00 am and finish around 3:30 pm. In addition to subjects like math and science, AFS students will be offered Thai language lessons free of charge. Other activities such as dancing, sword fighting, boxing, music, cooking, meditation, and arts & crafts might also be available. As authority figures are highly respected in Thailand, you can expect to greet your teachers with a traditional wai.<\/em><\/p>\n

Returning Home<\/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
