The AFS Program<\/strong><\/h3>\n

After your host parents greet you with traditional hospitality, it shouldn’t be long before you feel at home in their open, friendly community. By going to a local high school, you\u2019ll be totally immersed in a new language and customs, and what you learn during the day will be reinforced at night when you spend time with your host family. This is your chance to break out of your comfort zone and join in this diverse and ever-evolving culture.<\/p>\n

Your high school<\/h3>\n

Like in many South American countries, the school year in Paraguay begins in mid-February and ends in November, with a two week winter break in July. You can expect to be enrolled in a private or public high school. Then you\u2019ll begin to focus on one of three areas of study: business\/accounting\/administration, social sciences, or biological sciences. If you go to a public school, you\u2019ll likely attend either morning (7 am to 12 pm) or afternoon (1 pm to 6 pm) classes, not both. After classes are over, you can use your free time to participate in community activities or explore Paraguayan culture with your new friends.<\/p>\n

Returning Home<\/h3>\n

“Life-changing” is hard to describe, yet it\u2019s nearly always the first thing that AFSers say when asked about their experience abroad.
\n“Transformed” is another one. When you return home, if you\u2019re like most AFSers, you\u2019ll bring with you a sense of accomplishment unlike any other. You\u2019ll have gained maturity and independence, discovered new passions, and feel like you can do anything you set your mind to. That transformation isn\u2019t visible only to you, though – others see it as well. AFSers gain critical skills for college and careers, ranging from language fluency to intercultural competence and critical reasoning.\u00a0“Life-changing” means it\u2019s only the beginning.<\/p>\n
