FLEX Global Abroad

FLEX Global Abroad is a fully funded high school study-abroad exchange for American students to live with a host family, attend a local secondary school, and participate in leadership and cultural activities in a listed host country. The programme places U.S. citizens in partner countries for an academic-year experience that develops language skills and cross-cultural understanding. Participants act as informal cultural ambassadors by sharing information about the U.S. and their hometowns with host communities.

Living with a host family, study at a local secondary school, participation in leadership activities, language development, cultural exchange; fully funded placement.

U.S. citizens enrolled in grades 9-12 (including home school) at the time of application; age 15 to 18.5 at the program start date. Applicants of all grade-point averages and academic performance are encouraged to apply.
