Visitoz

Visitoz

Visitoz is a Working Holiday programme which guarantees well paid jobs for young people from more than 70 countries of the world. The work is all in rural areas and jobs could be in teaching, child care, housekeeping, farm work, animal care, hospitality, tourism, nursing, construction and a mixture of all of any of them (the participant chooses). We meet participants at Brisbane Airport on a Thursday morning and they spend four days getting over jetlag by the beach and this is the time to meet all their new friends. The following Monday they travel to the Training farm where they learn everything to be useful in a rural enviroment, whatever job they will decide to do. They ride horses and motorbikes, drive tractors, use chainsaws and do fencing tasks, work with cattle and build and repair fences. They learn life skills such as how to change a wheel on a vehicle. On their 9th day they travel to the job of their choice. After three or four months work the money is burning a hole in their pocket (paid at the award wage and food & accommodation is provided) so that they have to go to spend it - with their new friends they go to the coast and the cities and 'play' sailing, diving, surfing, bungy jumping and sunbathing and taking tours. Just before they run out of money we ask them to call us again and they get another job - so that, in their year out, they can work and play their way around Australia without hassles.

The Trent Schools

The Trent Schools

The Trent Schools proudly offers a home-schooling curriculum for students from grades 1 through 12. We’ve set up an easy to use system of lessons, tests and grading to make learning at home simple, streamlined and supported. This system is your academic guide and covers the five core subjects: Language Arts, Math, Science, Social Sciences, and Fine Arts. We provide you with 28 lessons along with key learning objectives for each subject area. These lessons allow for flexibility, individual learning styles, and personal pacing. They are also perfect springboards for when your student requires more challenging, in-depth study. Additional assignments can be included in your lessons for enhanced learning. Along with the curriculum are seven unit tests that help you monitor how well your student is grasping and synthesizing what’s been taught.
Here at Trent it is our belief that a home school education can be one of the best ways for students to learn. It allows the parents to spend quality time with their children as they talk, learn and grow together. We have helped many of students achieve their goals and graduate.
Our curriculum includes lessons and exams that are designed to be a roadmap for learning. Subject matter is introduced in a way that encourages deeper exploration by the student in concert with the parent or tutor. Suggestions for supplemental activities are often provided.

International Studies Abroad - ISA

International Studies Abroad - ISA

One of the first impressions that we hope students will have of ISA is our service-oriented attitude towards study abroad. We are here to help each student throughout the entire study abroad process. From a student's initial contact with an ISA representative, we hope that he or she will quickly realize how important each individual is to us. We take each student's requests very seriously, and we are able to be flexible in order to meet his or her specific needs.

Our commitment to each student distinguishes ISA among other study abroad providers. We are available to assist students, parents, and university faculty and advisors throughout the study abroad process, from choosing the appropriate program for your level and interest to completing the application process and participating successfully in the study abroad experience. In addition to our ISA team in the U.S., ISA offers students the support of our qualified, full-time resident directors in each of our program sites. They are committed to maximizing each student's study abroad experience, both academically and culturally, and are well trained to guide our students through any situation that might arise while abroad.

ISA believes that by studying abroad, students not only observe another culture, but they also experience the culture by living a new way of life. Students encounter people from all types of backgrounds with whom they are able to make a connection, whether through similar interests, a shared laugh, or even a long bus ride. We hope that students will gain a cultural understanding and personal independence that can only be achieved by living and studying in another country. Moreover, we hope that students will continue to reap the benefits of study abroad by encouraging cultural understanding in their own communities. We recognize that this enlightening experience is becoming an increasingly precious asset as we encourage America's youth to become sensitive, responsible and contributing members of today's expanding global community.
