Welcome to ISA Australia

We provide Australian study tour programs for overseas students. We were founded in 1994 to address the need for an office in Australia to work with partners and to facilitate the ever-increasing desire to study in Australia.

Our services include programs in Australia for Japanese students, and programs in Japan for Australian students.

Our programs teach leadership, cross-cultural communication and critical thinking, and are the perfect opportunity to improve English language skills through seminars, classes, cultural excursions, and conversation with peers, faculty and student advisors.

Our Empowerment program aims to expand students' mindsets to incorporate values and strategies for success in a globalized society, and in their personal, social, and work life.

We also offer High School Immersion Programs, Australian Nature and Australian Culture & Society Programs, and English Teacher Training Programs.
