AFS Intercultural Programs
|
Year:
You'll enjoy daily life with your host family and friends. From August through May you'll attend classes in either the last year of grunsskoli (ages 6-16) or framhaldsskoli (ages 16-20). There are three types of framhaldsskoli: college prep, specialized secondary school, and technical school. Icelandic schools offer a lot of after-school activities as there is "competition" between schools. You may join a variety of clubs with your friends such as photography, cinema, choir, or mountaineering. AFS Iceland also has several activities during the year: a two-day camp in the country held about six weeks after arrival; a four-day camp that focuses on cultural excursions; and an optional one-week homestay on a farm after the school year is over.
