My Travel Story

  • Study/Degree Abroad
My name is Claire and I am a junior at Hillsdale High School. I have recently been accepted to the CIEE Global Navigator High School Abroad program. I have the opportunity to spend 4 weeks in Tokyo, Japan, learning about Japanese culture, art, and improving my language skills. I have been a member of the Art Club and since freshman year, and am so excited to learn more about Japanese culture and become a global citizen.
CIEE is the leading nonprofit, nongovernmental student exchange organization in the U.S. and has been operating since 1947. As a Global Navigator, I will have the opportunity to receive college credit for this experience, to go toward my major of Animation which I plan to pursue after graduation from high school.
The tuition for this program is $6,500 plus airfare. This tuition includes all of my language lessons, cultural classes, excursions, housing, and meals. I have created a fundraising strategy to help offset these costs, which includes financial sponsors. In return for your contribution, I will be sending items featuring my artwork, as well as updating my blog with updates on my journey. Any contribution is appreciated.
Thank you for your consideration and support!
