Study Abroad, Internship, and International Exchange

IHS offers various study abroad and internship programs!

We offer one-year study abroad and internship programs. There are also mandatory domestic internships and short-term study tour in Taiwan for the second-year students.

Study Abroad & Internship

Acquiring various experiences while in high school can greatly influence your life and future career. IHS offers not only study abroad but also domestic internship programs through its YMCA network. Even if you find studying abroad a little challenging, you can still immerse yourself in English in Japan by joining the mentioned internships.

By having partner schools and local YMCAs as receiving institutions, we guarantee more reliable, fruitful study abroad experiences.
Both short and long-term programs are available (※).
Take advantage of our merit-based scholarship for study abroad. You can also transfer your credits from non-partner educational institutions.
※Short-term programs for 2 to 3 months, and long-term for 1 year.
