TypicalBoy asked me:

For a high school program, where are some of the cheapest places to study abroad outside of the US?
Could you please include sources such as websites?

If you are on a budget then for a high school programme you can consider either New Zealand or Australia.

Both have a low cost of living, and tuition fees are pretty reasonable. Their education systems also rank very highly — they offer good quality for reasonable money in a safe environment.

The most important thing to consider is why you are looking for high school studies overseas? This can help you decide on which country is most suitable.

Also, do you have relatives which are already abroad that can help with housing (and thus save a lot of money?)

For some more reading below is a listing of some schools in New Zealand I found while researching your question.

• Awatapu College
• Central Hawkes Bay College
• Feilding High School (FAHS)
• Freyberg High School
• Hastings Girls’ High School
• Horowhenua College
• Iona College
• Napier Boys’ High School
• Palmerston North Boys’ High School
• St Peter’s College
• Tawa College
• Wanganui Girls’ College
• Wanganui High School
• Wellington Diocesan School for Girls (Nga Tawa)
• Wellington East Girls’ College

If you are interested in enrolling for a Diploma (not Degree) course in Australia check the table below what the entry requirements are for your country.

Generally speaking the requirements are a completed high school degree, and an English level of at least IELTS 5.5+ to be able to enter a diploma program.

For some countries it is required that you first complete a Certificate IV (ADF Framework) before being able to apply for a diploma course. This should be done in Australia, and takes about 6 months to 1 year depending on the subject. The Certifcate IV should be relevant to your Diploma study plans.
