International secondary student exchange (ISSE) programs offer a broad range of cultural and educational experience for Queensland high school students.
Student exchange is a reciprocal program where Queensland students attend a high school in another country, while students from other countries study in Queensland.
Only student exchange organisations who are registered with the Department of Education can offer an ISSE program.
Student exchange organisations can be either not-for-profit ISSE organisations or schools with sister-school relationships which include student exchanges of up to 12 months.
