The simple fact of studying a year in the United States can be key not only to acquire a bilingual level of the language, but also to enrich a curriculum that will be more attractive when finding a job.
But these two are not the only advantages of studying abroad: companies specialized in facilitating these adventures for students recognize that a few months in countries like the USA, Germany, Italy, Switzerland or any nation in Southeast Asia can completely change the life of whoever tries it.
An opportunity to grow
Grow as a person, acquire values, discover that the world is not only the way it is presented in our environment.
These are some of the first gifts that the training experience outside our borders gives to students: "Traveling for a long period of time opens the mind and teaches that the world is much more complex, rich and interesting than we think," explain from International Experience, a company based in Minnesota that accompanies hundreds of people in this process every year.
A key moment to develop the second language
In this case, the possibility of studying for a semester or a full year is designed for children between 13 and 18 years old. It is in this stage of secondary school where the knowledge of the second language can be best integrated and acquire a very high level of English.
In addition, the children, who will have to continue their studies when they return to Spain, acquire a study habit and a capacity for work in line with the American culture, a country where competition is much higher and, therefore, the daily effort is greater.
In other words, the experience abroad will help students to raise their grade point average and improve their results permanently, thanks to the study and work protocol internalized in America.
New subjects
Beyond learning English, training outside of Spain confronts the student with new subjects that are not taught in their country of origin and, therefore, opens their mind to new knowledge.
This is very relevant, since from that first contact with the different subjects arises, often, an interest that ends up becoming a vocation and marking the professional future of these young people who embark on the adventure of studying abroad.
Unique memories
Of course, the experience of living abroad, away from the family and in a world as different as the one offered by America is a unique opportunity to acquire a series of memories and experiences that will accompany the minor throughout his life and make him aware that you have to take advantage of every moment with this type of unique experiences.
All these advantages are what move more and more families to send their teenage children to study in public and private schools in the USA to learn English and immerse themselves in American culture.
