Dear Student, Thank you for considering a travel program with ISE! Once you experience an ISE program, you may never see the world the same again. For over 40 years, ISE has provided students life-changing travel experiences all over the world. As an ISE traveler, you can expect to gain more confidence in your language skills, be challenged by new and unfamiliar experiences, and develop a personal connection to the world that is simply priceless. Our programs are different because we emphasize language immersion, making the entire travel experience richer and more meaningful. ISE’s programs abroad provide a safe place for you to experience the magic, wonder, and surprise that is true cultural immersion through travel. Here is the custom itinerary designed by your teacher(s). Daily activities will be determined by the group leader(s). You can find additional information on our website: www.isemn.org. We can’t wait to have you aboard!
