Japanese high schools conduct study abroad programs in Australia

Japanese educational institutions are conducting various study abroad programs in Australia to foster global perspectives and language skills among students.

At Morimura Gakuen, high school students are participating in a selective term-based study abroad program. Students spend approximately two months in Australia, engaging in homestays and attending local schools. Reports from participants highlight the challenges and rewards of studying specialized subjects like business and psychology in English, as well as the opportunities for intercultural exchange with international students.

Clark Memorial International High School also offers short-term programs in Australia that combine English language learning with local cultural experiences. These programs include activities such as ‘Animal Encounters,’ where students interact with native wildlife like koalas to learn about the local ecosystem in English, aiming to broaden their horizons beyond traditional classroom settings.
