Our popular Philippines program is based in Cavite, just south of Manila—offering a peaceful and convenient location for school placements and cultural immersion. Partnering with OzPhil College, participants engage in meaningful professional exchanges with local educators and visit nearby public schools.
Enjoy a comfortable week-long stay with resort-style amenities, with afternoons free for leisure—swim, shop, relax, or even play golf. After the teaching portion, the group travels to beautiful Cebu for two days of exciting excursions, including a whale shark experience in Oslob, a visit to Sumilon Island, and a scenic city tour.
An optional add-on to the world-famous Coron Islands is also available for those wanting to extend the adventure!
This experience is part of our Teacher Training Program, designed for educators who want to be fully immersed in a local school setting, with a strong focus on sharing professional practice. It can be both challenging and deeply rewarding — ideal for those looking for a more hands-on and impactful experience.
