Moldovans are known for their compassion, resilience, and warm hospitality. As a student in our high school exchange program in Moldova, you’ll experience this firsthand by living with a carefully selected host family. Most Moldovans speak Romanian, the official language, but you may also hear Russian spoken in certain regions. Through daily immersion, you’ll learn how to navigate a different culture, appreciate new customs, and grow into a more confident, globally minded version of yourself.
Studying abroad in Moldova isn’t about checking tourist sites off a list—it’s about full cultural immersion. You’ll become part of a close-knit community where traditions matter, neighbors support one another, and everyday life is grounded in connection. Whether you’re learning to cook traditional meals, participating in folk celebrations, or helping your host family tend the garden, you’ll quickly feel like you belong.
