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. If you’d like to better understand the differences between our Study Tours and Teacher Training Programs, please visit our website for more information.

•  It is fine to arrive at any time of the day for the start of the program, however, the final day of the program will involve a domestic flight back to Manila. This should be kept in mind when booking international flights. 

 Arrive at Manila's international airport and transfer to your accommodation in Cavite. Settle in, meet the team, and unwind after your journey. 

Participate in four mornings of teaching placement (8 AM–12 PM) at local schools. Activities include classroom observation, team teaching, lesson planning, and reflection.

• Thursday includes a visit and guided tour of a local state school.
   
• Friday features a farewell morning tea and a half-day tour of Manila.
  Afternoons are free for relaxation or local exploration.

As a team, we come together to plan and deliver a full day of professional development for local teachers. Drawing on our combined experience and strengths, we run interactive workshops focused on practical strategies, inclusive teaching, and student engagement — tailored to the local context.

It’s a powerful day of connection and learning, where we’re able to support and uplift local educators while growing in confidence and collaboration as a group.

Fly to Cebu for two days of exciting excursions designed to immerse you in the local culture and natural beauty of the Philippines. You'll explore Cebu’s historic old city, swim alongside whale sharks in Oslob, relax on the pristine shores of Sumilon Island, and visit a stunning waterfall set amidst lush tropical scenery. 

After breakfast, you will be transferred to the local airport. 

Alternatively, if you choose to join our optional excursion you will take a direct domestic flight from Cebu to Coron. Check in to your hotel and then take a brief tour of the small coastal town. 

Enjoy a full-day private boat island-hopping tour around Coron’s beautiful lagoons and beaches. Visit crystal-clear lakes, snorkel vibrant reefs, relax on white-sand shores, and take in stunning limestone cliffs. Lunch is included on board. 

On the final day, enjoy breakfast at your hotel before taking a mid-morning flight back to Manila for your onward travel.
