What students, teachers and parents told us (2018–2023)
"Hello Mrs. Ruby, thank you so much for guiding us and giving us this opportunity to explore the beautiful Sydney. We learned so much from this experience and are excited to apply everything back home. I'm so grateful to be part of this trip — I'm even telling my parents about joining an art academy in Australia."
NaylaStudent · Sydney immersion, 2023
"Dear Miss Ruby, Mr. Rasyid and all the wonderful house parents, tour guides and teachers — thank you for your warm welcome during our stay in Sydney. Your guidance and hospitality really made me feel at home. Australia is such a culturally diverse and historically rich country. We love you Aussie!"

YafiqStudent · Sydney immersion, 2023
"Alhamdulillah — Galuh was so excited telling all her stories from Sydney. Thank you Ibu Davina and Ibu Rina for your guidance; it was such a valuable experience for my child. She came back with a different, more open outlook, more independent, and more responsible with money. She even wants a Sydney homestay 2018 reunion!"
MellyParent of Galuh · Homestay 2018
"Hats off to Darryl, Rio and Arsya for surviving two weeks of cold, dark early mornings walking to the station and coming home tired in the rain — sometimes on their own. Hopefully this new experience makes them more mature and responsible, and becomes a sweet memory in their lives."
