Lead Locally, Educate Globally
Every fall, CIEE cordially invites educators to attend our High School Study Abroad Conference. During this free professional development weekend, educators gather with a group of passionate teachers and administrators from across the U.S. to discuss best practices in global education and study abroad, gaining actionable insights to cultivate a more global culture at their schools.
The CIEE High School Study Abroad Conference provides an amazing opportunity for educators to broaden their horizons and professional network, returning energized with fresh resources for their schools and classrooms. All participants receive a Certificate of Completion* to claim up to 10 hours of Professional Development credit in their district (*subject to school/district approval).
We’re excited to host our 2026 High School Study Abroad Conference in New York City on October 3-4. Qualifying schools can expect to receive invitations soon.
