Question 1

Will I be placed in a city like London?

Accepted Answer

It is very unlikely you will be placed in a major city. The majority of our host families live in small to medium-sized towns outside of major cities, and it is important you be open-minded to small-town life.

Question 2

Can I travel on my own during the program?

Accepted Answer

England and the Netherlands are the only two Greenheart destinations in which students are permitted to travel on their own. Students must present an accurate itinerary and seek approval from their coordinator, school, and host family before traveling. If you do not wish to travel on your own, there will be opportunities to travel through the program and/or through your school.

Question 3

Am I still eligible even if I have already graduated?

Accepted Answer

Yes! On a case-by-case basis, we can accept high school graduates for High School programs in Argentina, Austria, England, Netherlands, and New Zealand.

Question 4

Can I choose which host family I will be placed?

Accepted Answer

No, you must be flexible about where you are placed within England. We do our best to match you with a host family that will be a great fit, and host families live throughout the country!

It's possible to stay with a family that you know and would like to host you in your program destination as long as we have a support network in their host community and there is an available host school nearby.
