Welcome to ISCA
Welcome to ISCA, an immersive cultural and academic experience designed for students aged 12–15 from schools around the world.
For 44 years, ISCA has offered young people the opportunity to explore Britain’s history and culture through first-hand experience. Our programme combines iconic locations, shared discovery, and international friendships with a carefully structured academic framework, creating an experience that is both joyful and purposeful.
At ISCA, students do far more than visit famous places. They are encouraged to ask questions, make connections, and reflect thoughtfully on what they see and experience. Learning is active, enquiry-led and collaborative, supported by guided discussion, and structured reflection. Theatre, museums, historic sights and cities become classrooms – places to think, debate and explore ideas together.
A defining feature of ISCA is our global community. Students live and learn alongside peers from many countries, gaining insight into different cultures while developing the confidence to express their own perspectives. This international exchange deepens understanding, builds empathy, and helps students see the world, and themselves, more clearly.
Alongside experiential learning, ISCA places great value on personal growth. Within a carefully supervised and supportive environment, students develop independence, resilience and responsibility.
Above all, ISCA offers students an experience that stays with them – intellectually, socially and personally – long after the programme ends.
With 44 years’ experience in providing unique and exhilarating programmes, ISCA has built up an enviable reputation for excellence, of which we are very proud. The whole ISCA team would be delighted to welcome your school or your child onto one of our global programmes. We invite you to explore our website to find out what makes ISCA such a transformational experience for our students.
