School year abroad

Spend a school year abroad, together

Travel the world with your kids without giving up school. Wide Eyed Kids brings together schools that welcome international families for a term, a semester or a full year, and shows you what a home costs nearby.

Find a school Browse destinations

International schools, nature schools and everything between

Choose an IB school in Lisbon, a British school in Tenerife, a forest school campus outside Chiang Mai, a Waldorf school by the beach in Costa Rica or a small school on the Namibian coast. Every school page shows ages, programmes, language of teaching and the monthly fee where the school publishes one.

How booking a school year abroad works

Pick a school and a start month. Add a home nearby if you need one. Send your request: the school confirms a place, and only then do you pay the first month. Every later month is due a week before it starts.

If plans change, our cancellation policy is clear and the same for every school.

Compare fees in one currency

Schools set their fees in their own currency. Wide Eyed Kids shows every fee in US dollars, so you can compare a school in Penang with one in Medellín or Cape Town at a glance.
