| Summary: | High School Study Abroad (HSSA), a form of mobility providing temporary physical mobIility for adolescents, has been facilitated by various organisations for more than 80 years, with growing interest in participation. Despite its growth, scholarly attention remains limited compared to similar programs at the tertiary level. This qualitative study aimed to gather perspectives on HSSA through six interviews with experts identified with the support of AFS Intercultural Programs. The result presented in the article is a detailed characterisation of the phenomenon, its sector, and its historical context. The analysis highlights the interplay of macro- and mezzo-level factors shaping program design and operations, as well as potentially influencing experiences of individual participants. The findings provide a valuable foundation for future research in the field.
