From $12,200 (semester program)

Attending high school in Mexico as an Australian exchange student offers a unique and culturally enriching experience. Mexico, a vibrant country in Latin America, is known for its rich history, diverse traditions, and delicious cuisine, making it an exciting destination for education and cultural immersion.

 

A typical day at a Mexican high school, classes usually start around 8:00 am and finish around 2:00 pm. Class schedules may vary, and students usually have a break in between classes for snacks or socializing. Mexican schools often have a strong focus on academics, offering a variety of subjects and extracurricular activities to cater to students’ interests and talents. Some schools may have uniform requirements, and students can choose whether to bring their own lunch or purchase meals from on-campus cafeterias.

 

Living with a Mexican host family will provide you with an authentic cultural experience and a supportive home away from home. Your host family will become an important part of your exchange experience, as they will involve you in various family activities and traditions. They might take you to explore local landmarks, museums, or markets, allowing you to immerse yourself in Mexican history and culture. You’ll also have the chance to savour traditional Mexican cuisine, such as tacos, tamales, and enchiladas, as your host family prepares meals for you and shares their favourite recipes. You may also participate in family celebrations, festivals, and social gatherings, forging lasting bonds and creating lifelong memories.

 

 

Studying in Mexico as an exchange student offers the opportunity to broaden your horizons, improve your Spanish language skills, and gain a deeper understanding of Mexican culture through firsthand experiences with your host family and classmates. You’ll develop lasting friendships, create unforgettable memories, and return home with a newfound appreciation for the vibrant and diverse country of Mexico.

Mexican food has some of the most well-known and loved dishes in the world.

 

The cuisine is a nice blend of the Indigenous cultures and Spanish cuisine. It is based in beans, corn, tortillas, and chillis, and these are now usually served with some sort of meat and cheese.

 

Most dishes come with rice and spices, a clear nod to the European influence.

Buses are the main form of long-distance public transportation in Mexico.

 

There is an extensive network of buses, which range from modern luxury coaches to retired school buses.

The tropic of Cancer runs through Mexico, dividing the climate into temperate and tropical climate zones.

 

Mexico has only two seasons: wet and dry. The wet season has a lot of rain but isn’t much colder than the dry season. The wet season is usually from May to mid- October and dry season from October to April.
