We are committed to developing all international students, whether short-term or long-term, in English proficiency, cultural harmony, academic engagement, and international understanding. We aim to ensure that all students achieve their personal academic best in a safe and welcoming environment, and that all students leave our school equipped to lead a productive life as part of an increasingly globalised world. The Heights is certified by the Department for Education to accommodate long-term international students. We have hosted a number of long-term international students from Japan, Germany, France, Korea and Thailand.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"x-section-3\" class=\"x-section bg-pattern\" style=\"margin: 0px;padding: 0px 0px 45px; background-image: url(https:\/\/www.theheights.sa.edu.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/linedpaper.png); background-color: transparent;\" data-x-element=\"section\" data-x-params=\"{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;pattern&quot;,&quot;parallax&quot;:false}\"><div id=\"\" class=\"x-container max width\" style=\"margin: 0px auto;padding: 0px;\" ><div  class=\"x-column x-sm x-1-3\" style=\"padding: 10px;\" ><span class=\"x-image e288-e12 m80-0 m80-1 m80-2\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theheights.sa.edu.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/1711608312369.jpg\" width=\"738\" height=\"554\" alt=\"Image\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><span class=\"x-image e288-e13 m80-0 m80-3\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theheights.sa.edu.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_0059.jpg\" width=\"1632\" height=\"1224\" alt=\"Image\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><\/div><div  class=\"x-column x-sm x-1-3\" style=\"padding: 0px;\" ><span class=\"x-image e288-e15 m80-0 m80-1\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theheights.sa.edu.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_0056.jpg\" width=\"1632\" height=\"1224\" alt=\"Image\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><span class=\"x-image e288-e16 m80-0 m80-3\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theheights.sa.edu.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/year-12-graduation-2.jpg\" width=\"240\" height=\"320\" alt=\"Image\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><\/div><div  class=\"x-column x-sm x-1-3\" style=\"padding: 0px;\" ><span class=\"x-image e288-e18 m80-0 m80-1\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theheights.sa.edu.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/20240806_145906.jpg\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1500\" alt=\"Image\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><span class=\"x-image e288-e19 m80-0 m80-3\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theheights.sa.edu.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/20240325_232444267_iOS.jpeg\" width=\"1512\" height=\"2016\" alt=\"Image\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"x-section-4\" class=\"x-section bg-pattern\" style=\"margin: 0px;padding: 45px 0px; background-image: url(https:\/\/www.theheights.sa.edu.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/linedpaper.png); background-color: transparent;\" data-x-element=\"section\" data-x-params=\"{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;pattern&quot;,&quot;parallax&quot;:false}\"><div id=\"\" class=\"x-container max width\" style=\"margin: 0px auto;padding: 0px;\" ><div  class=\"x-column x-sm x-1-2\" style=\"padding: 0px;\" ><span class=\"x-image e288-e23 m80-0 m80-1\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theheights.sa.edu.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/KIMG2600.jpg\" width=\"2336\" height=\"1752\" alt=\"Image\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><\/div><div  class=\"x-column x-sm x-1-2\" style=\"padding: 0px;\" ><div id=\"\" class=\"x-text\" style=\"\" ><p>The Heights School proudly hosts study tours from various schools in Japan.
