To celebrate our 40th year, we are delighted to introduce you to our brand new programme, ISCA Global – a redesigned ISCA programme for students aged 14-17 years old.

The programme will allow students to explore British history and culture by visiting the best sights in southern England, focusing on our ethos of experiential learning. In addition, ISCA Global will include a new Future Skills course and several optional complementary online courses to help our students develop the soft skills they need to thrive at school, at university, in the workplace and in the real world.

As always, students will travel to the UK with a teacher from their school and will stay at one of our fantastic campuses.
