Since students at earlier stages of languageproficiency make greater gains more quickly thanstudents at more advanced stages, it is not appropriateto compare percentage growth across languages. Forexample, 60% of the 2017 German students were at thebeginning level, while only 24% of those in the Spanishcourses were beginners. Arabic results are not includeddue to an insufficient number of matched cases.1010 Valparaíso, Chile** Based on composite score data for CIEE Global NavigatorHigh School Summer Abroad language programs from2016-2018. National averages derived by Avant from highschool language proficiency assessments administerednationally in 2016–2017. Our language learning programs align withthe principles and standards of the AmericanCouncil on the Teaching of Foreign Languages(ACTFL), and participants can earn 4 collegecredits through our partnership with TulaneUniversity. The curriculum of each of our programsis designed to complement secondaryeducation. We encourage critical thinking,curiosity, and problem-solving.

CIEE STUDENTS MAKE A DIFFERENCE14,200hours of servicecompleted by CIEEstudents in 201866%of CIEE alumni weremotivated to becomemore involved in their localcommunities when theyreturned homeGLOBAL NAVIGATOR ALUMNI HAVE: Founded non-profits andbusinesses Continued service projectsin the host country Started service projects intheir home communities Initiated inter-cultural andstudy abroad clubs in theirschoolsHearing the stories of the leaders we workedwith was so inspiring to me especially becausemany of them were women. To see powerful,dedicated women working hard to better theircommunities helped me see all the ways I coulddo so as well.— Daniela P., Creating Change throughSolidarity, Guanajuato, MexicoMy most memorable experience was workingwith all of the students on an organic farmto create meals. By directly harvesting theingredients and cooking while creating the leastamount of waste possible, it opened my eyes asto how we could all be doing much more to buildsustainable cities.— Karen S., Building a Sustainable MegaCity, Beijing, ChinaI will never forget the children I met at oneof our service sights in Cape Town. Thoselittle boys taught me more in three days thanI’ve learned from any service work I’ve donein the U.S. The interactions we had were farmore important than the work we did and thatrealization is one that will impact me forever.— Elizabeth I., Leadership throughMandela’s Example, Cape Town, SouthAfricaExperiencing Tanzania through home stays,exploring our town of Iringa, and interactingwith local people allowed me to observe thedifferences in culture and lifestyle compared toNew York where I live, as well as the similaritiesand parallels between two places thousands ofmiles apart. My experiences were enlightening,interesting, and I can’t name a time that I wasn’thaving fun or learning something new. Theservice learning aspect of the trip taught meso much about what effective service work is.— Simrun B., Empowering Girls throughSports, Iringa, Tanzania1212 Rabat, Morocco13
THE DENOYELLES SCHOLARSHIP SUPPORTS NC STUDENTSfor the last time before starting my year abroad.I feel so lucky to have two families that love andsupport me.The deNoyelles Global Navigator Scholarshipis a donor-supported scholarship for a NorthCarolina student to study abroad for a semesteror year in an immersive language program.The scholarship is dedicated to students whowould not have the opportunity to study abroadwithout donor support. The first student toreceive the scholarship, Josie M., spent her senioryear studying in Valparaíso, Chile, after receivinga scholarship the previous summer from CIEE tostudy Spanish in Valparaíso for four weeks. Josiewas inspired to continue studying Spanish andreturned to live with her summer host family forthe year. This is her story.The summer before I began my year abroad inChile, I participated in a High School SummerAbroad program with CIEE in Valparaíso, Chile.I knew how much I was capable of learning in onemonth, and I knew multiplying that growth bytwelve would help me reach some of my academic,professional, and developmental goals.During my summer in Chile, I fell in love withthe CIEE staff of Valparaíso. Not only were theygreat educators, but they provided love and muchneeded emotional support. They were lovingand treated me as an individual and fosteredmy growth and exploration in a way that I feltindependent and supported at the same time.The staff worked very hard to place me withthe same host family as my summer program.Knowing I had a loving family to care for me madeit much easier to kiss my natural family goodbye14Living within a different culture taught me tolook at all situations through a different lens, andthis cultural introspection has extended my ownvalues. I look at myself differently. I now see myselfas someone who is capable of positive change andcan grow, and more importantly, I am in control ofwho I want to be. I am in control of my experience,and it taught me how to be an adult and managemy time effectively. I also learned how to budgetmoney and manage my health and wellness.I would tell other high school students now is thebest time to study abroad for a semester or year.There are a few key differences between the highschool and university programs in Chile. First thehigh school program is smaller, so not only wasI closer with the other high school students, butCIEE activities were more intimate and fosteredgrowth. In Valpo, college students often takeclasses with other English speakers, while at myhigh school I was the only student who spokeEnglish, so I had more immersion and morechallenge linguistically, which meant more growth!The lack of contact with other Americans helpedme make true distinctions between two culturesand positively modify my actions to reflect theperson I want to be.Supporting a study abroad student is the best wayto foster peaceful international relations whereeveryone benefits. I know it doesn’t stop there.My future employers will benefit from a moreculturally engaged and bilingual employee, andfuture friends from a more dynamic friend in me.Studying abroad is not about travel or school; it’sabout peaceful and impactful change.Josie is studying nursing at Appalachian StateUniversity in North Carolina. She plans to work inhealthcare and use her Spanish skills to enhanceher patient care in the future.Living within a different culture taught meto look at all situations through a differentlens, and this cultural introspection hasextended my own values.Valparaíso, Chile15
