Hi! I’m a new subscriber, having been referred by Nancy Whiteman, who I’ve followed for close to a year. Appreciate what you are writing about and your experiences. My husband & I have intentions of moving in the summer of 2024, after our only son graduates high school. He’s hoping to join us if he gets accepted to a university he is interested in attending in Lisbon! As long as he ends up somewhere in the EU, we’ll be moving! Looking forward to reading more!
Welcome aboard Kathy! Thanks for subscribing and for getting in touch! I hope we can be helpful to you moving forward. In the Before Times, I used to work in a high school. Where does your son go to school?
Hi Scott - we are in Pennsylvania, near Hershey, and he’s finishing the 2nd semester as a junior in a small(ish) public high school, Lower Dauphin, after having spent his first semester in a public high school abroad in Hamburg, Germany. He is starting to research universities and a top choice at the moment is NOVA School of Business & Economics in Carcavelos, but would prefer NOT to be roommates with us 😂
Yes, first time our high school sent someone abroad despite regularly receiving exchange students. The intention was to go for a full year but there were host family-life issues so we made the decision to cut the year short, but still a great experience and he came back undeterred to return for his bachelors. Wanting to live in Europe runs in the family!

Wow! First semester of high school abroad is unusual. Good for all of you!

A student at my school went through the CBYX program and would have spent her entire senior year in Germany were not for the pandemic.
