High School Program in Argentina

Mundo Español invites you to attend a private high school in Argentina. Our exchange program “High School Program in Argentina” has been created for high school students between 14 and 18 years of age, willing to discover a new culture and to live a unique experience for one to three months.

Mundo Español organizes your entire stay: from your orientation day up to your farewell party. During one to three months (depending on the chosen format), you will discover the Argentine pace of life. You will be part of the student body in one of the most prestigious private high schools in Argentina, where you will able to continue your studies as if you were in your own high school. You will be part of a regular class according to your academic level in your country of origin, and you will take the same subjects and participate in the same activities, in Spanish, as your classmates. Also, you will have the chance to share the everyday life of an Argentine family who will welcome you as another member. You will be able to share incredible moments with them and feel as if you were Argentine!

In addition to mastering Spanish during your stay, you will also accept and internalize a different culture, and you will make lifetime friends.
