These four- to five-week summer programs provide a great opportunity for students to get a head start on one or more of the subjects they wish to study in college in an exciting international setting. In a typiacal program AIFS Summer Advantage participants learn about art by studying original masterpieces, visit the places where history was actually made, and immerse themselves in another language and culture. A typical day could include classes taught on campus or at museums and historical sites, professional guided tours, and social activities organized by AIFS Summer Advantage staff members. Students spend an average of 15 hours per week in class. In addition, program coordinators organize numerous cultural outings, and students have time to explore independently. AIFS Summer Advantage programs are carefully designed to give participants a balance of classroom lectures, experiential learning, and social and recreational activities. Those applying to college may submit transcripts from summer course work along with their high school records, and many colleges grant advanced standing or transfer credit for campus-based programs. All students are issued transcripts for completed course work by the host institution.
