Australia

Australia is truly amazing, offering good weather virtually all year round in most of the country. Students will find some of the most amazing beaches, rainforests in a rich environment, so it is easy to understand why ‘down under’ attracts students from all over the world.

New Zealand

Turquoise waters, snowy mountains, spectacular volcanos, and green landscapes. New Zealand is a fascinating country with some of the most spectacular unspoilt scenery. The ‘Kiwi’ people are warm welcoming with a rich history. Wherever you go you will receive a friendly smile and a warm welcome. As a student, you will have so much to discover.

High School

Schools Australia and New Zealand are held in high regard globally, offering you the opportunity to enhance your academic profile during your stay. However, the most significant advantage of your time will likely be the boost in confidence gained from immersing yourself in this incredibly friendly and welcoming environment. Additionally, you’ll create lifelong memories of unique places and experiences that you’ll cherish forever. Extracurricular subjects and sports are encouraged. Try something new!

Staying with a host family

It does not matter if students choose Australia or New Zealand, they will be staying with a caring host family. Our carefully selected host family will introduce students to the local culture providing an insight into local life. All our families look different, some live in the city or on the countryside, others by the coast, some have children, some do not. What they all have in common is that they are excited about welcoming students into their home and to show how it is living as a true Aussie or Kiwi.
