HIGH SCHOOL EXCHANGES TO CHILE

Have you always dreamed of exploring South America and becoming fluent in Spanish? Then our exchanges to Chile are a fantastic opportunity to do so.

Located along the western coastline of the South American continent, Chile will amaze you with its rich culture, its art, music and architecture.

The country extends some 4300km from the desert north to the glacial south, enclosed within the beautiful Pacific Ocean on the West and the impressive Andean range on the East. Chile shares most of its extensive eastern border with Argentina, and with Peru and Bolivia in the north.
A country of extremes Chile has snow-capped volcanoes plunging to river canyons. The Great North, where some weather stations have never recorded rainfall, is in stark contrast to storm and snow-prone Patagonia. Chile's sculpted coastline boasts plenty of beaches and bays perfect for fishing and swimming. What an amazing place to explore!

While living with a carefully selected host family you will get the change to understand and become part of this vibrant culture. During your exchange you will experience the people’s warm hospitality and the Latin American way of life. Spanish is the official language in Chile, though a few native dialects like Mapudungun, Quechua, Aymara and Rapa Nui are still spoken in some areas. This is your opportunity to get your Spanish language skills up to scratch!

Empanadas are large turnover snacks with a variety of different fillings. How exciting to make this classical dish with your host family!
