Why choose a Staff-guided Program?

ISE volunteer Staff Guides are certified world language teachers who lead the ISE program as an extension of the classroom. Using the target language, the Staff Guides manage the day-to-day itinerary by engaging students in activities that immerse them in the culture. They are experts in the language and culture of the program and support teachers in providing a great in-country experience for students!

The order of this itinerary is subject to modification based on actual airline arrangements. All listed activities are included in the Staff-guided program.
