LPI’s mission is to provide high quality language and cultural immersion opportunities to U.S. high school students at an affordable price. We recognize that we play an important role in the worldwide effort of international educators to increase individuals' awareness of cultures and societies outside of their own national boundaries. Our programs are designed to maximize our participants' learning abroad, and we understand that high school students need support and expert guidance before, during and after their time abroad. LPI specializes in high school study abroad programs for college credit in China, Costa Rica, England, France, Italy, Peru and Spain; some with community service components and educational tours.
