Destinations

WHERE CAN STUDENTS GO?

 

France
In France, we host families in Paris and the beautiful city of Lyon. Lyon is ideally located near Geneva, the Alps and the Cote D'Azue. Students begin their French Immersion with a 5 days sightseeing tour of Paris, visiting art galleries, museums and experiencing French cuisine.

 


Germany
In Germany you will be based in Karsrhue, situated on the Rhine River in the southern west of the country. This area is famous for the picturesque Black Forest and stunning city of Heidelberg. Students are taken on a sightseeing tour of both Munich and Berlin at the beginning and end of their time overseas, soaking up the rich history of this beautiful country.

 

SAFETY & SUPPORT
Antipodeans Abroad focuses on the individual student to ensure each participant is safe, happy, and benefits fully from the program. Our policy of using Chaperones ensures safety and allows ease of communication with parents. Our colleagues in Europe are well known to us and have many years of experience organising home-stays. They operate with the welfare of each student uppermost in their minds. Group numbers are purposely kept small, allowing an individual focus and personalised service to be provided. This allows the Chaperone
ease of group management.

 

Antipodeans Abroad hosts a Pre-departurePreparation Day to brief participants on what to expect whilst overseas. Staying safe and basic travel skills are discussed as well the program procedures and itinerary. Our in-country partners provide invaluable local support while Australian Antipodeans Abroad staff are on call 24-hours in case of emergency.

We had a ball in Germany. The families were great and made us feel very much at home. School, too, was really enjoyable. Everyone took an interest in us and wanted to know lots about where we came from. We also enjoyed making our film diary of our time in Germany.
