The east coast of the United States of America is undoubtedly one of the most prestigious areas of the world towards education and academic tradition and one othe best options for students who want to study academic year programs. Every private boarding school we promote at International Academic Programs has the College Prep denomination, and therefore they are specialized in preparing their students to obtain the best possible academic results in order to secure places at the best universities and colleges in the USA, specially the Ivy League top universities located in New England: Yale, Princeton, Cornell, Harvard, Columbia, Pennsylvania, Darmouth, Brown, MIT, Boston University, etc.

The spectacular New England setting allows academic year students to join amazing and first class ski and snowbarding programs. Thanks to the perfect location and proximity to top mountains and ski resorts, (some of them are just 30 minutes away from the schools), the students get to practice and compete against other private schools up to 3-6 days a week during the snow season.

About the environment, the tradition of most schools is being located in rural landscapes so students get to focus on their academic results with trips to major towns during the weekends. For candidates used to live in big cities like Madrid, Barcelona, Paris, or Munich there are also schools situated in urban settings close to cities like Portland, or Boston.

For weekend activities, the students get to choose among a wide range of opportunities such us games against other schools, trips to the major cities, shopping centers, movies, restaurants, ski trips, beach trips, NBA games, amusement parks, etc.

Our selection of private boarding schools includes options for every candidate: mixed schools, single sex schools, schools specialized in STEM programs, (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) specific sports, facilities, or any other specialty.  In our many trips we have even visited some top junior boarding schools for students between 10 and 14 years old.

Every school offers spectacular academic and extracurricular programs like engineering, robotics, programming, coding, virtual reality, movie and tv poduction, theater, chorus or music programs with state of the art facilities.

In one of our latest trips to the United States we got to visit some of the best private schools for academic year programs in New Hamsphire, less than an hour from Boston. All the schools we selected are catholic and offer state of the art facilities in academics, sports, music and all kinds of arts.

They are located in very quiet and safe environments, small size New England towns of about 30.000 – 90.000 people each and easy transportation to Boston, about 50 minutes away by bus. These towns offer all kinds of recreation activitities for young students like movie theaters, shopping malls, restaurants or bowling centers in an unparalleled setting that combines urban enterntainment with nature activities since they are surrounded by beaches, lakes, rivers, parks or forests. During the warm months the spectacular area allows many activities such as beach trips, sailing, rafting, kayaking or hiking, while in winter time the students get to ski at the spectacular mountains and resorts located less than 20 minutes away.

As part of the academic year program, free of charge and without any extra cost, the schools offer a wide range of different activities of all kind like trips to Boston, visits to the best universities in the area (Yale, Harvard, Brown, MIT…), for students considering studying college in the United Sates, NBA and American Football games, movies, theater

The atmosphere at the schools is very friendly, (with 90% of American students) and all the international students we met highly recommended studying one academic year in the United States at those centers since it became one of the best experiences of their lives.
