ASSIST is a life-changing opportunity, truly. My ASSIST year allowed me to explore the world, yet find what I most appreciate at home. It is a powerful experience for a young person that I wish for as many students as possible.
My experience with ASSIST taught me to say yes to opportunities that arise, as they may end up being life-changing and eye-opening, just like ASSIST year was to me.
“I am working in a CyberSecurity position for both IT and OT, to gain further experience in the professional field and to prepare myself for what lies ahead after my degree.”
"My year in an American school with ASSIST made me see that every form of education is equally valuable - whether you are a humanities scholar, a scientist, an artist or an athlete you deserve the space to grow. Thanks to the program I realized I can, and have the abilities to pursue what I love: the arts. Last year I graduated cum laude from Harvard and I know I would have not done it without the ASSIST experience."

Saint Andrew’s Preparatory School, in Boca Raton (FL)
Thanks to Assist I had the opportunity to study 11th grade at Saint Andrew’s Preparatory School, in Boca Raton (FL). After a wonderful academic year in the U.S., I returned to Madrid (Spain) to finish High School and soon after started my degree in industrial engineering.
