A semester exchange in the Netherlands offers the perfect opportunity to experience life in a new country—without missing an entire school year at home. During your semester abroad, you’ll attend a local Dutch high school, live with a welcoming host family, navigate daily life by bike, enjoy “stroopwafels”, and celebrate Sinterklaas. You’ll experience how Dutch teens live, study, and socialize firsthand.

A semester abroad is a great fit if you’re curious about the world, want to grow in a new environment, and build something meaningful into your high school years—without being away from home too long. It’s also a great way to boost your college applications, improve communication skills, and make international friends you’ll never forget.
