Our Southern African travels include a week in the vibrant nation of
Mozambique. Not to be outdone by its sister country of South Africa,
Mozambique has been heralded as one of Africa’s rising stars, offering
stunning beaches, excellent diving and an upbeat atmosphere. Students
are introduced to life in this former Portugese colony through visits to
villages influenced by Mozambican, Ethiopian and Moroccan arts;
wandering through street cafes and markets and poking around the bayside
fishermans’ dhows. This time of year, the coast proves a mecca for
surfers and beach seekers.
Mozambique provides a wonderful opportunity for students to experience the diversity of Southern Africa, as they discover the tremendous difference from this Swahili associated country and the British-influenced nation of South Africa.
From bustling Johannesburg to isolated Zulu villages, South Africa offers something for nearly everyone. The Republic of South Africa is a vibrant nation full of indigenous cultures and customs, diversity and spectacular scenery. South Africa is a melting pot of cultures and people, recognizing eleven official languages and eight non-official languages, and is referred to by some as the Rainbow Nation for those reasons. This exhilarating and complex nation has the largest economy in Africa, thus earning it recognition as being the most socially, economically and infrastructurally developed nation on the continent.
Travel within these incredible countries provides students a unique and distinct view of their extraordinary nature and remarkable culture and customs, not to mention magnificent beaches and vibrant peoples.

Two of the largest countries in Europe, France and
Spain have long been a choice destination for adventurous travelers.
From the world famous haute couture of Paris to the magnificent
architecture of Barcelona, one will find these countries vibrantly alive
with culture, commerce and sports. SFYI International School centers
itself on sharing cultural experiences with our students, such as
festivals, art exhibits and sports competitions.
Students will arrive into the Mediterranean sunbelt in the South of France, where studies will begin with French or Spanish language lessons. Sharing a remarkable coastline, this region of southern France and northeastern Spain embraces a rich Catalan history. Catalonia is almost universally recognized as one of the most economically dynamic regions of Spain.
Artists and writers have long been captivated by the natural beauty and mild Mediterranean climate. Gaudi, Dali, Matisse and Picasso were greatly inspired by the luminous light and brilliant colors of this seductive region. Matisse was first attracted to the colors of Collioure in the early 1900’s, while Catalonian-born son, Salvador Dali, made his mark several decades later in the white-washed seaside village of Cadaqués on the Costa Brava.
This summer program is ideal for students interested in combining a unique French and Spanish experience, rich in history, culture and adventure.
