What study abroad programs are available for students that are 17 years of age in Belgium, France, or Spain?
My son is interested in studying abroad over the summer of 2010 in Western Europe for language studies in French or Spanish. So far, we have been unable to find any institutions that accept applicants under the age of 18. Does anyone have any recommendations?

What about an exchange program like YFU, AFS, EF, or NYU? I believe they all do summer exchanges aimed at high school kids (usually 15-18). There is Rotary too, but Rotary prefers year-long exchanges in most places. You can find all of those easily online and they are all good programs.

You could try Cactus languages - and explain the situation to them. I would expect the issues arises from them not wanting to take responsibility for him when he is not at lessons, but inmost cases they are able to find host families to accomodate the students. This is not only a good way for him to get aquainted with that Country's language and culture, but it is also cheaper than standard accomodation, and may get you around the issue of responsibility.
