Welcome to Teensabroad.com - a division of The National Registration Center for Study Abroad (NRCSA) dedicated to serving the young adult community!
Since 1968, NRCSA teams have been evaluating programs around the world - and selecting those we consider to be the best in their respective areas. Our mission is to improve international understanding through educational exchanges. NRCSA welcomes participants of all ages, nationalities, and occupations.
For young people, a foundation in intercultural and international experiences helps to foster empathy, build confidence, enhance communication skills, and connect with the world beyond their immediate borders. Studying abroad specifically offers a unique opportunity to understand the world around us in a way just being a tourist could never do - through living other people's language, culture, customs - while having the time of your life, and making good friends from all over the world!
ABOUT NRCSA - JUST THE FACTS:
- Over 300 US universities have formal programs with foreign schools in the NRCSA Consortium. Most focus on foreign language immersion training and area studies. Others specialize in business, education, art, etc.
- Teachers from over 1,000 school districts have attended NRCSA member institutions abroad over the past years to pursue graduate credit, in service credit or simply to expand their professional competence.
- Working adults, retirees and professionals attend many NRCSA programs. Most pursue vocational or avocational interests abroad. Foreign short courses frequently combine lectures with fieldtrips or cultural events providing an enjoyable and stimulating learning experience. The Wisconsin Department of Public instruction has reviewed and approved programs offered by most NRCSA Centers Abroad for ECU (equivalency clock hours). Hundreds of US colleges have awarded credit to their students who have attended these schools.
- Our experience working with peope of all ages helped us to create the more highly refined and tailored programs specifically for teenagers that you will see listed here at teensabroad.com under the 'Supervised Programs' section. For older teens, those with a lot of experience abroad, etc - we also have a selection of unsupervised programs where teens can join adult programs. Unsupervised teen programs are not for everyone, but can be a good fit for the right kind of student.
