Explore the "Land Down Under" as a Classroom Teacher!

Australia is the world’s smallest continent and largest island—and it’s like nowhere else. Gain a global perspective this summer as you explore your passion for education in the "land down under.”  Through a unique mix of classroom instruction and hands-on service learning, you’ll gain invaluable teaching experience at local schools while contrasting learning styles in the Australian Education system with your experiences in the U.S.

You’ll also visit the Great Barrier Reef, see kangaroos, wombats, and koalas, and travel the great outdoors as you get to know two great cities, Brisbane and Sydney—all while earning 3 credits!
