Worldwide High School Programs
2027 2028 The number one choice for high school abroad.
Ages 12–19 1
Our promise. The number one choice for high school abroad. At Educatius, we create life-changing high school experiences abroad that empower young people to discover who they are—and who they want to become. Each year, for more than 23 years, we’ve welcomed thousands of international students and families on this adventure with care, expertise, and a deep understanding of what this experience makes possible. Whether it’s navigating academics in a new language, bonding with a second family, or developing independence that lasts a lifetime—our exchange programs are designed to challenge, inspire, and transform.
Selected by students. Trusted by parents. Preferred by high schools. Our focus is solely on high school programs abroad. This means we bring unmatched attention to quality, safety, and outcomes for every young student. We’re proud to be the trusted partner of global education organizations and families alike—and we continue to raise the standard, year after year.
Our 3 student commitments. 1. The perfect program for every student.
Educatius offers the widest choice of destinations, schools, and academic pathways to fit every student’s goals and budget. Flexible options and expert guidance ensure that each student’s exchange experience is uniquely their own. Some students fast-track toward top universities, while others join sports clubs for fun or competition. Many immerse themselves in a new culture, master a second language, or pursue opportunities that their high school at home cannot provide. With Educatius, these possibilities become reality.

Upgrade your exchange in the British Isles.
Country: Scotland Program: Classic Why choose Scotland’s Classic Exchange Program? 1. A flexible education system. Students in Scotland experience 4–6 subjects depending on their year group, with a wide variety of options available. Subjects can be studied at different levels within the same class year, so international students can access the right level of class. In both England and Scotland, we have options for students aged 15+. 2. Authentic community immersion. Scottish schools are closely tied to their communities, often sharing facilities like leisure centers or community halls. Schools host regular events in sports, music, and performing arts that bring local residents together. With overwhelmingly Scottish classmates and typically fewer than 10–15 international students per school, students enjoy a true immersion experience. 3. C lose to Edinburgh. Our placement area is just 30 minutes by public transport from Scotland’s capital city. Edinburgh offers historic architecture, world-famous festivals, and a vibrant cultural scene, giving students the chance to explore one of Europe’s most inspiring destinations while living in a smaller, community-based setting.

Every international student who joins our programs contributes to this work—extending the gift of education to others. This hands-on aid ensures sustainable education, benefiting not just students but their families and communities.

Our efforts have supported hundreds of thousands of trees and improved local ecosystems for over 60,000 youth. Environmental and economic sustainability go hand in hand.

Resilient youth, global future. Through our Global Youth Resilience Initiative, we provide students—and the people who support them—with the tools to thrive. Exchange is exciting, but it’s also challenging. Resilience is what makes the journey meaningful.
