School Immersion in Adelaide, South Australia – 13-18 years old – 1 term to 1 school year
The chance to study at an Australian High School in Adelaide is for motivated students aged 13 – 18 who would like to study for 1, 2 or 3 terms or an entire academic year (4 terms). This is a fantastic chance to live alongside young Australian students and culturally immerse yourself while living with an Australian host family.
Why Australia ?
With a surface area making it the 6th largest country in the world, Australia’s borders are enclosed by the magnificent Pacific and Indian ocean. This huge island’s natural scenery is absolutely breathtaking, and is home to a myriad of different animals and plants. It’s safe to say Australia is a wonderful, unique and vibrant country with a stunning landscape.
The 24 million inhabitants primarily live along on the coast line, so their daily lives and routines revolve around the beach. Australians are famous for their enthusiasm for the outdoors and their deep-rooted adoration of sports. The Australian life would, of course, be incomplete without dozens of barbecues with friends and neighbours. What’s not to love?
Adelaide is situated in the South of Australia. It is an old colonial city founded in 1836 that has grown to a population of 1 million people today. Surrounded by green parks and a white sandy beach, the warm and mildly dry climate makes it the perfect place to enjoy the Australian lifestyle. Even though the city has a relaxed, cosmopolitan atmosphere, the cost of living is much lower than that of its Australian equivalents and it boasts a very high quality of life. In short, Adelaide has all the ingredients readily available for an unforgettable exchange.
