Welcome to the Wonderful World of WEP Student Exchange!

Study overseas in more than 20 countries with World Education Program (WEP) Australia. Our international student exchange programs offer you a transformational learning experience hand-in-hand with unsurpassed quality of support and attention to every student and family.

Opportunities to live and study overseas are available to all Australian secondary students who enjoy a challenge and are willing to completely immerse themselves into day-to-day life in another country. These outstanding educational programs offer you the experience of a lifetime and promote understanding and peace between people from different cultures.

Student Exchange

Becoming an exchange student is an exciting way to enhance your life by living in another country. Being an exchange student does not require your family to host a student in your house while you are away.

Student exchange with WEP Australia can open your eyes to the opportunities and wonders of the world. Support is provided to students throughout the entirety of their programs. Right from the start, when we first receive an enquiry, all the way to program completion, WEP answers questions from students and parents, maintains contact with students while they are overseas, and facilitates communication between our international partner organisations, coordinators, host families, host schools and exchange students. This ensures you will have the best possible student exchange experience.

Thank you for the exemplary care and warmth in all matters.

Support Platform for WEP Students

Our primary goal at WEP Australia is to provide as much support for our overseas exchange students as possible. Our online support website allows students to interact with each other and to easily connect with WEP staff. After completion of the student orientation program, our exchange students will be provided with the facility to keep a personal blog of their travel experiences, participate in a forum with other students and much more.
