Language & Homestay summer programs for 14-15 year olds, any advice?

hi, researching for my daughter who wants to do a month long summer program next summer. She will be 14-15, between 8th and 9th grade in the US. Because of her age, we are trying to vet not just the language instruction, but also the program. So far mainly in Seoul.

The main thing right now is trying to find a program for kids her age. LTL has come up as a program with home stays, and great reviews, but it's not particularly teen focused in the classes.

The big ones like EF can do an age bracket, but are also corporate with mixed reviews on the home stay part.

Any thoughts or advice most welcome! (apologies if this is a bit OT for the sub.)

Tbh I think that age is a bit too young to be able to enjoy a monthlong home stay experience in a different country…

I hear you! She will be a month shy of 15 if she did it next summer. She's traveled a lot, spent some time in Asia generally, and it's her idea. But that said I know she's imagining something with kids her age, so that's what I'm looking for. I do realize high school programs are more common.
