CIEE High School Semester Abroad in Mexico Recently Updated

Live and study in the heart of Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula.

Surround yourself with tropical landscapes and ancient temples while living in Mérida, one of the safest cities in North America. Attend classes five days a week at a private high school with local teachers and classmates. Whether exploring Mexico’s past in clase de historia and mastering science vocab in clase de química, you’ll learn 100% in Spanish!

On weekends, discover pueblos mágicos (magical towns), swim in cenotes (caves with fresh water), and taste authentic dishes only found in the Yucatán region. Bonding and sharing traditions with your new friends and host family will make you feel right at home.
