Overview

Our Short Stay Immersion Programs offer 2- 4 week intensive cultural and academic experiences, designed for students from around the world who want a meaningful taste of life in another country. We partner with reputable educational institutions to provide safe, structured environments where students can improve language skills, engage in local culture, and explore academic classes alongside local peers.

Our goal is to make the immersion experience genuine and supportive: we work together with partner schools to match students into suitable classes, provide safe housing (school‑provided dorms or host families), and co‑curate enriching cultural programming.

• Entry windows are flexible to accommodate different calendars (typically 2‑4 week blocks).
• Applications usually open 3- 4 months in advance of each session.
• Some partner schools may have fixed start dates.

Academic Info

• Students are placed in real classes alongside local students whenever possible (language, humanities, electives).
• We coordinate with partner schools to align curriculum and ensure students are comfortable in their placement.
• Some light language support or “bridge” classes may be offered to help students adjust.
• Assessments and feedback are given, but credit granting depends on home‑school policy.

Summer Study Abroad

• Our 2- 4 week programs are well suited to summer breaks.
• Summer sessions may include extra cultural intensives, excursions, and thematic modules (e.g. language + art, language + history).
• These programs can serve as a standalone experience or a “bridge” into a longer academic program later.

Accommodation

• Depending on the partner institution and location, accommodation may be:
  1. School-provided housing / dormitories (monitored, safe, on or near campus)
  2. Host family placements (carefully selected and vetted)
• In all cases, we work with the school to ensure student safety, pastoral care, and a good living environment.
• Housing options are confirmed ahead of time, with clear guidelines for what to expect (room type, shared bathroom, curfews, etc.).

Activities & Excursions

• Local cultural experiences, city tours, museum visits, historical sites, local festivals
• Weekend excursions to notable nearby destinations
• Workshops, language/culture classes, cooking, arts, sports
• Opportunities to mingle with local students in school clubs, events, performances

These activities are co‑designed with the school to ensure authenticity and relevance.

Placements

• Students are placed based on age, language level, interests, and school availability
