Come funziona un anno all’estero

Our 3, 6, and 12-month high school abroad programmes are designed to integrate seamlessly with international and Italian education systems, ensuring academic continuity and long-term value.

  • Recognised curricula:
    Students are enrolled in fully accredited public or private schools offering internationally recognised curricula such as GCSEs and A-Levels (UK), Junior and Senior Cycle (Ireland), Cambridge Lower Secondary & IGCSE (Malta), and US High School Credits with optional AP Courses (USA). Schools are selected to match the student’s age, academic background, and future goals.

  • Academic compatibility & MIUR recognition:
    The academic pathway is carefully structured to allow credit recognition upon return to Italy. Students can re-enter their Italian school system without academic gaps, delays, or the need to repeat a year. Full academic documentation is provided to support MIUR credit validation.

  • Subject selection & academic guidance:
    Students choose subjects aligned with their current studies and future interests, with academic advisors supporting subject choices to ensure continuity and progression.

  • Assessment & grading:
    Continuous assessment, reports, and official transcripts are issued by the host school, allowing families to monitor progress throughout the year.

  • Exam preparation:
    For students planning to continue their education internationally, optional preparation for IELTS, Cambridge English exams, or the SAT is available during or after the programme.

School life abroad goes far beyond academics, offering students a structured, safe environment to grow socially, personally, and culturally.

  • Clubs and sports:
    Students can choose from a wide range of extracurricular activities such as rugby, football, basketball, sailing, drama, debate, robotics, music, and creative arts. Participation helps students integrate quickly, make friends, and build confidence.

  • Volunteering & leadership opportunities:
    Many schools offer volunteering projects, student councils, leadership programmes, and community initiatives. These activities enrich the overall experience and can contribute to PCTO (for Italian students) or IB CAS requirements.

  • Cultural immersion:
    Students experience daily life as a local student, improving language skills naturally through school, friendships, and everyday interactions.

  • Excursions & educational trips:
    Weekend excursions to major cities, cultural landmarks, museums, and historical sites are regularly organised. These trips reinforce classroom learning through real-world experiences.

  • Balanced routine:
    Programmes are structured to balance academic commitments, extracurricular activities, and personal downtime, supporting student wellbeing and long-term success.

Student wellbeing is a priority, with accommodation options selected to ensure safety, comfort, and cultural immersion.

    • Accommodation options:
      Students stay with carefully selected and verified host families or in supervised student residences, depending on the destination and programme. All options meet local and international safeguarding standards.

    • Host families:
      Host families provide a welcoming environment, daily interaction in the local language, and cultural immersion. Families are vetted, interviewed, and regularly monitored.

    • Residences:
      Residences offer 24/7 supervision, structured routines, shared spaces, and a more international student environment.

    • Meals & dietary needs:
      Full board is included. Special dietary requirements (medical, religious, or lifestyle-related) are arranged in advance to ensure student comfort and safety.

    • Room options:
      Single or shared rooms are available depending on the programme and destination.

    • Arrival & orientation:
      Upon arrival, students receive a comprehensive orientation covering transport, local customs, safety rules, school expectations, and practical matters such as SIM cards and daily routines.

    • Wellbeing support:
      On-site staff and counsellors are available to support students emotionally and academically throughout the programme.

We provide continuous, multi-level support to ensure peace of mind for both students and families before, during, and after the experience.

  • Local support team:
    Each student is supported by a local tutor or coordinator who acts as the main point of contact in the host country.

  • 24/7 Italian-language emergency support:
    Families and students have access to a dedicated Italian WhatsApp helpline available 24/7 for any emergency—medical, academic, emotional, or family-related.

  • Ongoing monitoring & communication:
    Regular check-ins ensure students are settling in well academically and socially.

  • Monthly progress reports:
    Families receive structured monthly reports covering academic performance, attendance, integration, and overall wellbeing.

  • Safeguarding & emergency procedures:
    All partner schools and accommodations follow strict safeguarding protocols, with clear procedures in place for health, safety, and emergency situations.

  • Return & reintegration plan:
    At the end of the programme, students receive support for reintegration into their home school system, including reverse culture shock counselling and a full academic dossier to support MIUR credit recognition.

Why study abroad in high school?

Through EduLeap, students enrol in carefully selected international secondary schools offering full, accredited high school programmes taught in English, suitable for both native and non-native speakers. These are full-time, academically challenging programmes with the academic guidance and pastoral support needed to ensure a smooth transition to life and study abroad.

This immersive environment helps students develop language skills quickly while building confidence, independence, and strong intercultural awareness, skills that support future university and career pathways.
