A relaxed and informal teaching style

American schools encourage students to think independently and take part in class discussions. The American education system also offers a great range of subjects, so you could get the chance to study American history, journalism, business studies, or drama. Some high schools offer driving lessons too, so you could get your American driving license while you're in the USA.

School life

If you take part in our exchange programme, you'll experience what's unique about an American high school. On a typical day, you might travel to school by yellow school bus, then chat with friends while you put away your coat and lunch in your locker. You'll then have around five hours of classes. You'll get a report card about twice a year. Your grades will depend on your performance in class discussions, homework, and projects.

Sports and extracurricular activities

Sporting activities are a major part of high school life, and your school will expect you to participate. Of course, there's cheerleading and football, but other popular sports include soccer, basketball, and baseball. If you're not the sporty type, there are also many other things to do, such as join the school newspaper, the debating club, or the prom committee. The prom is a special dance for seniors at the end of the school year.
