High School Programs Australia

DESCRIPTION :

International students are enrolled at an Australian private or government high school and fully participate in the Australian school’s life (curriculum, school uniform, compliance with school rules). Students also have many opportunities to take part in extra curricular activities. Many Australian schools offer special programs if a student wishes to pursue a special talent or field of interest while in Australia. Australian families, where the student will be hosted, are generally warm, open and outgoing. They enjoy the opportunity to share their country, culture and way of life with a young person from another country.

The student will be placed in Perth, Western Australia, where he/she will enjoy a Mediterranean climate, a quiet and safe lifestyle, and Perth beaches.
