Why Choose API?

Why Choose API in Shanghai
Within the supportive environment of the API programs, API participants are encouraged to explore their host communities and become increasingly independent and confident in their own abilities. We strive to make international educational experiences accessible to as many participants as possible, and, as such, work to provide multiple program components at a low program cost.

“This has been the most incredible experience of my life and I would not have enjoyed my time nearly as much if it weren't for all that API has done for me! From the excursions, to help with academics and housing, to the kind staff, I can't believe I got so lucky in picking the best study abroad program.”
