Programs are tailored for each group in order to maximize their goals during their visit to the Pacific Northwest. Groups include foreign language teachers and students of various disciplines from countries such as Japan, Germany and the Philippines. Visitors take part in a variety of language-learning and cultural activities designed to give personal insights into American culture and society.
Programs can last from three weeks to nine months, depending on the group's requirements.
And home-stays, a highlight of many of the programs, help give each visitor a true taste of the American lifestyle. AHA International arranges for course instruction, homestays, most meals, excursions, and insurance. Through association with Portland State University, we're also able to offer academic credit for certain inbound study abroad programs.
