Deciding the destination of a study abroad program is probably the most difficult one. Searching about lifestyle, weather, tourist attractions and everything related to your new "home" is necessary, but don't worry, we are here to help!
​
SPC has schools in three different locations, Beautiful cities in Australia (Brisbane and Cairns) and Japan (Nagoya)
​
The first thing to consider is: where you see yourself living. Are you looking for a 24/7 cosmopolitan destination or a coastal living with a relaxed lifestyle?
​
We strongly encourage you to live both experiences! Boost your Language in a residential area surrounded by spa-like facilities or in the third most populated city, with an adventure in every direction.
