Studying a school course in the United States has gained popularity among Spanish students in ESO and Bachillerato. This trend is largely due to the J-1 program, promoted by the U.S. government, which not only promises a significant advance in English proficiency but also enhances academic performance and fosters personal development.
Every year, numerous young people embark on this enriching experience, which represents a significant change for both them and their families. According to Oliver Rodríguez-Pearson, an expert in international education, the benefits of this immersion are invaluable. A study by AFS Intercultural Programs shows that 92% of participants improve essential skills such as adaptability, intercultural communication, and problem-solving. These competencies become fundamental in any career path.
Additionally, a report from Rotary Youth Exchange reveals that 95% of students who participate in exchange programs return home with an increased sense of maturity and self-confidence. This transformation results from facing new challenges in a different cultural context.
The positive effects extend beyond personal growth; they also impact academic and professional domains. Data from the Council on Standards for International Educational Travel (CSIET) indicates that 89% of international students who complete their school year in the U.S. observe significant improvements in their English proficiency and overall academic performance. Moreover, the American Council on Education (ACE) highlights that 78% of these students continue their studies at universities outside their home country, surpassing the global average of 41%.
In terms of job opportunities, a 2019 study by Youth For Understanding reveals that 85% of alumni from school exchange programs believe their experience was pivotal in gaining access to scholarships, internships, or jobs in international settings.
However, the decision to send a child to study abroad can create uncertainties. Therefore, having proper guidance is essential. The Lemon Tree Education provides personalized support from the beginning, offering guidance to families and continuous monitoring during their stay in the U.S. Rodríguez-Pearson emphasizes that the goal is to ensure the educational experience is an advantage, not a source of complications.
For families interested in providing their children with this transformative opportunity, The Lemon Tree Education offers detailed information and support throughout the J-1 program process, helping to address any questions that may arise.
