Independent Schools Cultural Alliance - ISCA – Summer Programs in the UK

Parents

my son had an amazing time, learned a lot and developed great friendships along the way

ISCA will give your child a very safe and exhilarating international travel experience. Scotland is in effect, the stage for our programme. However, ISCA prides itself on delivering so much more than a travel programme to Scotland. Your child will:

  • Experience and learn about the amazing and unique history and culture of Scotland in a fun and interactive way.
  • Meet other students from across the world, making global connections.
  • Benefit from over 42 years’ experience of the ISCA Global Programme, allowing us to offer a programme that makes international travel a safe and compelling experience.
  • Stay at a 4-star Georgian hotel in the heart of Edinburgh.
  • Have a high level of teacher supervision – with 1 teacher for every 4 students.

As a second time ISCA family, we knew what to expect, but our expectations were exceeded once again

Meet other Middle School students from across the world

While our students are from different countries and cultures, they share in the experience of travel to the UK. This allows them to form global friendships that they would never normally have access to. Students do not only learn about Scottish culture, but also about that of their contemporaries.

In the globalised world we now share, parents often say to us that this exposure to international culture is one of the key advantages that ISCA offers. Your child will grow up working in international organisations and in an international community. ISCA recognises that establishing these global links will allow the students to be better prepared for the global economy that they will be part of.
