Applications to study in Brazil for an academic year or a semester are invited from U.S high schools students with a minimum GPA of 2.5. Placement in a Brazilian high school, staying with a host family, and international medical insurance are some of the inclusions in the fee and support detailed on the CIEE website. For the first 3 weeks of the stay, intensive Portuguese language training will be offered to get students ready for the semester. Language proficiency classes will be offered through the first semester.
