Short Programs

Ready to experience life beyond the classroom — and beyond Australia?

Our short-term cultural exchange programs are ideal for high school students who want an overseas adventure without committing to a full semester or year abroad.

Whether it’s 4, 6, 8, or 12 weeks, these programs give you a taste of everyday life in a new country. You’ll live with a carefully chosen local host family, attend school, build friendships, and immerse yourself in a new culture — all while developing independence, confidence, and global awareness.

Some programs coincide with the December holiday period, giving you the opportunity to experience local festive traditions.

This is the perfect chance to grow, connect, and create unforgettable memories that will stay with you for life, with minimal disruption to your schooling in Australia. 

France also offers short programs including 6 weeks, 2 months and 3 months on a private program, 2 and 3 months on a classic program – please visit the France destination page for details.
