CIEE’s mission is to help people gain understanding, acquire knowledge and develop skills for living in a globally interdependent and culturally diverse world. We are accomplishing our mission through diverse programs ranging from the secondary level to teacher and faculty development seminars.

Description:
CIEE’s USA High School program is a 5 month or 10 month academic, homestay program that enables qualified international high school students to attend high school in the U.S. while living with a host family. Host families across the U.S. invite students into their homes as a member of their family to participate in all aspects of family and community life.
