GO Explore 2011 - School Programs




In 2011, AFS is offering young Australians the opportunity to discover and explore some fantastic countries and cultures through one of the following programs:

Year Programs – gain firsthand knowledge of life as a member of a family, school, and community in another culture for 11 to 12 months

Semester Programs – fit right in with your host family, local students and community for 5 to 6 months

Trimester Programs – perfect for the student whose schedule does not allow for a Semester or a Year abroad, but would still like the experience of living with a host family and attending a high school for 3 months.

AFS Explore fund has been created to provide young Australians the fantastic opportunity to explore some amazing countries. In 2011, $300,000 worth of support is on offer spreading across 6 countries.
