7-12 Months High School Programs in Australia

Live and learn in the Southern Hemisphere while embracing Australia’s sunny climate and vibrant communities. Dreaming of sun, surf, and new friendships? Now’s your chance to dive into the Australian high school experience! Live and learn in a public or private school and get ready for an unforgettable adventure in Oz. Your journey begins with an orientation filled with fun activities and opportunities to connect with fellow students, setting the stage for your time abroad. Then, head to your placement in New South Wales, an Australian state that includes Sydney, where you're sure to have an amazing adventure. You’ll experience the everyday life of an Aussie teen by grabbing lunch with your friends in the school cafeteria, joining a weekend surf session, or taking part in a school club or sports team. On weekends, enjoy sharing meals and exploring nature trails with your new friends or homestay family, and venture out to charming towns like Bowral or vibrant coastal cities like Newcastle to experience local markets, beaches, and cultural festivals.

Is the “Land Down Under” calling your name? Let’s see... -You want to see as much of this giant country as possible—there are optional add-on trips to places like the Great Barrier Reef, Uluru, or Kangaroo Island. -You have specific interests like tourism, child studies, technology, and more, and you want the opportunity to choose courses. -You want a culturally different experience, but you still want to speak English abroad. -You’re happy to live in a small, tight-knit community: our placements are outside of Adelaide, the region’s capital.
