Abbey Road’s study abroad programs for high school students prepare students academically and socially for college and enhance the quality of their college applications.

Abbey Road’s study abroad programs for high school students prepare students academically and socially for college and enhance the quality of their college applications.

Many students return from their summer travel programs with new academic interests they hope to pursue in college.

Stephanie Picozzi’s daughter Kimmy Drexler went on the multi-country Western Civilization program in 2009, traveling to Athens, Rome, Florence and Paris and reading Plato and Rousseau. “It has changed her thinking toward college, thinking maybe she'd like to major in something that could lead to international travel,” said Picozzi.

Other students find themselves more confident and prepared for the college experience of living independently and interacting with people from all walks of life after traveling with Abbey Road.

“Both of our sons spent the best times of their lives with Abbey Road overseas between their junior and senior years of high school,” said Annie Bradley, whose son Ian went on the Western Civilization program in 2009, after his brother Grant couldn’t stop raving about his 2007 Italian Civilization experience. “There is no substitute for the authentic, original, hands-on learning of history, culture and languages that they received.”

Yvonne Fedrick’s daughter Jadyn went to Florence with Abbey Road in 2009. “To be immersed in a totally different culture is an education unto itself, not to mention the art and history involved,” said Fedrick. “To listen to her conversations with others has opened my eyes to the intellectual, stimulating young women she has become because of the experience she acquired in Italy on the Abbey Road program.”

Abbey Road was founded by Stanford University alumni and operated by experienced professionals from other top schools such as Harvard, Yale, and NYU, Abbey Road Programs brings together a staff team with more than fifteen years of practice in the fields of international student exchange, travel, and education.
At Abbey Road, we take great pride in our faculty and staff. Our full-time and summer staff directors, coordinators, instructors and resident advisors are experienced, dedicated and caring individuals carefully selected and screened. Many of our summer staff and faculty are talented university professors and instructors, high school teachers, college administrators, and advanced graduate and high qualified college graduates. We maintain a minimum ratio of 1 staff member for every 8 students.

We follow very simple principles:

Immersion, Enrichment and Growth

Our mission is to develop summer immersion programs for high school students that facilitate cross-cultural understanding and enrichment by providing a unique opportunity for: cultural immersion, intensive language study, exposure to new academic subjects, travel excursions, recreational activities, personal growth, and building life-long friendships.

Safety, Organization and Personal Attention
We put a particular emphasis on personal attention, high quality of academic, cultural and recreational programs, strong organization, and above all - safety.
