ISE is a non-profit educational organization founded more than 30 years ago by foreign language teachers for the purpose of creating authentic beyond-the-classroom experiences for American foreign language students and teachers.

ISE believes that a family-stay abroad, combined with a travel itinerary, is the best way to assure a genuine immersion experience that truly transcends the typical tour-only program.

The ISE mission: to educate our young people toward an understanding of and respect for people of other cultures. This is achieved through immersion programs that stress foreign language learning, that provide interaction with the people and that open students' hearts and minds toward becoming better informed and connected citizens of our global village.
