ASSE High School Study Abroad in Australia
- Australia
About Program
Your host family will speak a language strikingly similar to yours—like the "Queen's English" if Her Majesty spent her days teasing koalas or exploring the rugged Outback. You'll return speaking British English with a distinctly "Aussie" twist. Discover the wonders "down under" in Australia, an ancient island continent full of contrasts. Its vast, modern cities feel like a mix of London and San Francisco, yet uniquely Australian. Explore the tropical splendor of the Great Barrier Reef, encounter koalas and kangaroos, and enjoy world-famous landmarks like the Sydney Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge. Whether for a school year or semester, you'll find adventure everywhere, from sparkling beaches and rugged bushland to cosmopolitan cities. Through relationships with your host family, friends, and community, you'll truly understand what it means to be Australian. Plus, Australia’s seasons are reversed—imagine enjoying summer sunshine in February!
