Rationale

Internationalism is an integral part of the world class education program at all International High Schools. An important part of theses educational programs that we develop are with other schools, both at home and overseas. Trading World International have an extensive program of exchanges and study tours through which both students and staff have the opportunity to expand their horizons, learn new skills and develop as global citizens.

Our Programs focus on participants taking time out to focus on their own lives while uplifting lives in a rural community. Taking into account individual and community needs while becoming Global learners and Citizens.

They are co-educational schools with between 200 and 600students.They are places where education is highly valued, but are resource-poor.
