$1,500 – $2,865weekly, approx. · 2026–2027
Weekly "from" prices compiled from 2026 and 2027 season price lists published on providers' own websites. Multi-week packages are divided per week. Tuition, accommodation, full board and activities are usually included; flights, visa, insurance and pocket money are not. Prices for school groups are quoted separately based on group size, dates and scope.
In September 2026 some large language-school chains in North America stopped trading. We therefore always verify a provider's current status when planning a program.

Why the USA makes sense for school groups
University campus experience
American university campuses introduce students to real campus life. For high school groups with strong academic goals it is an effective experience, both motivating and orienting.
A multicultural setting
The USA is a country where people of many backgrounds live together. Beyond language, students experience cultural diversity.
A wealth of themed programs
Short programs focused on technology, science, sport and leadership are common. There is a wide choice for school trips and camp programs.
Different regions, different experiences
The East and West Coasts offer two very different experiences in one country. Whether your school's priority is academic, cultural or social, a suitable region can be chosen.
Cities and regions
We work with you to choose the city that suits your group's age, size and goals.
New York and the surrounding area
Museums, culture and diversity in one city. Because the city is very large and busy, a common model is to stay on campuses in surrounding areas and visit New York on day trips.
California
Known for its sunny climate and relaxed lifestyle. University campuses and outdoor activities suit summer programs; distances are long, so transport within the program needs planning.
Other campus regions
Programs in smaller cities and campuses offer a calm setting that is easier to supervise. The right place is chosen based on the age of the group and your priorities.
Planning notes for school management
Practical points to know before deciding. Exact details are set out in the offer prepared for your school.
1
Season and climate
Summer climate depends on the region. The East Coast can be hot and humid in summer; California is generally dry and sunny. Programs are designed to suit the climate, with indoor alternatives.
2
Accommodation types
For groups, university dormitories or on-campus accommodation, host families and hotels are usually considered. Campus accommodation makes supervision easier. Available options vary by school and period and are stated in the offer.
3
Travel and logistics
Direct flights from Istanbul to many US cities exist, but the journey is noticeably longer than to European destinations and the time difference is large. Leaving room for students to adjust in the first days helps, so travel fatigue is considered when planning program length.
4
Document process
Turkish citizens generally need a visa for the USA, and the process may need extra preparation and time. Requirements differ by passport type and change over time; the official consulate or government source must always be checked. We guide the school through the document process; the final decision rests with the authorities. Early planning is therefore especially important for the USA.
5
Supervision and safety
The number of chaperone teachers is set by group size and age and is included in the offer. A 24/7 support line and local coordinator support are available throughout, and because of the time difference a communication plan for families is shared in advance.
Visa and entry rules can change. Check the official consulate or government source for current information; we guide your school through the document process.

Program detailsFrequently asked questions
USA or Canada for our school group?
The USA offers a broad choice of campuses and themed programs; Canada stands out for its calmer, safe-feeling city atmosphere. Both require a North American flight and document preparation. You can read our Canada page and share your school's priorities with us.
How many teachers should accompany the group?
The number of chaperone teachers depends on group size, student age and program type. Detailed conditions are set out in the offer prepared for your school.
Which age group is it suitable for?
Summer school generally suits final-year primary through high school students, and language school suits middle and high school students. USA programs are mainly considered for high school groups; age groups are set by program.
How do the long flight and time difference affect the program?
The journey is longer than to Europe and the time difference is large. A light schedule is set for the first days and this is considered when program length is planned. It also matters for short trips.

Turkish citizens generally need a visa for the USA; the process may need extra preparation, and requirements differ by passport type and change over time. Check the official consulate or government source for current information. We guide the school through the document process.
