Founded in 1964, School Year Abroad (SYA) is a non-profit, independent school with campuses in France, Italy and Spain. SYA is the only secondary-level program which requires students to live with a host family for an entire academic year while earning U.S. graduation credits and preparing for admission to selective U.S. colleges and universities. The central elements of SYA, the homestay and an academic program emphasizing foreign language acquisition, ensure that students become fully fluent in language and culture.
