Study Abroad & International Camp Programs

Embark on an unforgettable educational journey with John Paul International College (JPIC). Our Study Abroad programs offer international students flexible options to experience the Australian education system — from short-term international camp experiences of just one week, to a full year of study abroad in Brisbane, Queensland. Whether students are looking for a summer camp in Australia, a sports camp experience, or a longer academic program, JPIC provides the ideal blend of English language learning, cultural immersion, and the vibrant student life of John Paul College (JPC).

At JPIC, we prioritise student growth, and our Study Abroad programs reflect this commitment. Unlike standard study tours, our programs have a strong academic focus, providing international students with the opportunity to fully experience the Australian study lifestyle. Depending on their age and English proficiency, students will be placed in either our Preparation Courses or Mainstream Classes, ensuring the best possible learning environment for their individual needs. Our experienced academic team will accompany and support students in reaching their goals.

Choose Your Program Pathway

JPIC offers flexible program pathways to suit every international student — from short-term cultural immersion and sports camp experiences to full academic study abroad programs.

Study abroad students follow the College's normal timetable with the same expectations for completing homework, adhering to school rules, and participating in extracurricular activities. Students also wear the John Paul College uniform.

To make the most of this transformative experience, students are encouraged to commence their courses at the beginning of each term, as detailed in our term dates. By joining JPIC Study Abroad, students gain a genuine understanding of what it means to study in Australia, fostering personal growth, cross-cultural connections, new friendships, and lifelong memories.
