Your student exchange in Australia
Australia is 21 times the size of Germany, and everything from crocodiles to penguins can be found there. With 24 million people, mostly in the big cities, the endless, almost deserted expanses are only a hint. With us, you can spend your high school stay in South Australia or Tasmania.

Student exchange in South Australia
The capital of South Australia is Adelaide, where the vast majority of schools are located. With approximately 1.2 million inhabitants, Adelaide is a truly large city. Two hours south, along beautiful, snow-white, almost deserted beaches, you'll find the ferry dock to Kangaroo Island. If a city is too hectic for your student exchange, the earth definitely turns more slowly here, and you'll find the right school here.
Student exchange in Tasmania
Tasmania is the only state in Australia that isn't connected to the mainland. This separation creates differences, particularly in its flora and fauna. With just under 500,000 inhabitants, the island is very sparsely populated, and national parks cover most of its area.
Living in Australia
Australians are known for their "no worries" attitude and helpfulness. Every international student is quickly and happily welcomed into the community. Most locals enjoy the outdoors and love their BBQ, aka Barbie. Those who approach the locals openly during their student exchange will quickly make friends and embrace the relaxed, easygoing lifestyle!
