Language RequirementS
Learning Spanish before exchange is advantageous, but not required.
School
The Argentinean school system is divided into 3 levels: Initial level or Kindergarten (3-5 years old); Primaria or Primary level (6-12 years old); Secundaria, High school or Secondary level (13-17 years old). There are public and private schools, and you will be attending one or the other, depending on your host family.Â
In high schools, there are from 12 to 15 subjects, all of them compulsory. In the last 3 years of high school, students choose which field they want: Humanistic, Science, Business or Technical areas (each one with specific subjects).
Family
In Argentina, family life is central to society, often characterized by large, close-knit families that gather frequently for meals, celebrations, and holidays. Exchange students thrive in this inclusive atmosphere, where weekends and holidays are filled with lively family barbecues (asados), passionate discussions about football, and shared moments that build strong, enduring bonds. This communal spirit extends beyond the immediate family, inviting students to experience Argentine hospitality’s warmth and welcoming nature.
Volunteer Programs
Argentina offers a Volunteer Service Program for a year or a semester, during which you will live with a local host family who will be a big part of your everyday life. At the same time, you are placed with an NGO (non-government organisation) as a volunteer. It is an extraordinary opportunity to impact the world while transforming your own perspective.
Programs focus on critical global issues such as the environment, malnutrition, social development, culture and child care. You will meet people from all over the world, create friendships and be immersed in Argentinian culture while making a lasting impact on the communities you serve. Take the first step to make a lasting impact, and contact us to discover more.
This program is available to people 18 years and over.Â
