Study Abroad Program
Embark on an unforgettable educational journey and cultural immersion with JPIC Study Abroad programs. Our
program
provides flexible options for international students to experience the Australian education system, ranging
from 4
weeks to a year. Students can enjoy a unique blend of English language and academic programs, complemented
by the
vibrant lifestyle of John Paul College (JPC). Whether students are just beginning their English language
journey or
are at an advanced level, they can join either our Preparation Courses or Mainstream Classes, ensuring the
best
possible learning environment for their individual needs.
 | At JPIC, we prioritise student growth, and our Study Abroad program reflects this commitment.
Unlike
Study Tours, our Study Abroad programs have a strong academic focus, providing students with
the
opportunity to fully experience the Australian study lifestyle. Depending on their age and
English
proficiency, students will be placed in either the Preparation Courses or Mainstream
classes,
ensuring the best possible learning environment for their individual needs. Our experienced
academic
team will accompany and support you in reaching your goals. |
Flexible Options
In the JPIC Preparation Courses, students will not only engage in English Academic studies but also
have the
chance to study Mathematics and Health and Physical Education (HPE).
In the JPC Secondary School from Year 7-12, students must meet the minimum entry requirements and
study for
at least one term (3 months) up to one year. Students will be placed in the main classes with multiple
subject
choices like a local student.
Study abroad students will 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.
