HOW TO APPLY FOR A STUDENT VISA TO AUSTRALIA
For generations, Australia has been a hotspot for international students to receive a world-class education in a unique, safe, beautiful and diverse multicultural environment. There were over 188,000 student visas approved in 2018 alone, and those numbers are predicted to rise in the coming decades as Australia continues to evolve as one of the world’s leading education providers.
A student visa allows international school, vocational and university students to undertake full-time study and stay in Australia for the duration of their course. Examples of the types of educational courses you may undertake while on an Australian Student visa include, but are not limited to:

The Australian Government has a national curriculum that implements activities around literacy and numeracy, science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), humanities and social sciences and arts and languages.
Student visa 500
Australia is a well-known destination for many younger international students. With a great variety of primary, middle, and high schools programs, Australia host over 60 thousand younger students each year.
For students under 18 years old, there are special welfare requirements.
Young students must have a legal custodian. You must nominate someone who is in Australia and is over 21 or you can travel with your child. You will need a guardian visa to stay in Australia for longer than 3 months.
A child can live without a parent or guardian if the educational institution agrees to organise accommodation. International students have a number of accommodation options including:
• Homestay – Homestay families are carefully selected, monitored and supported to provide the best possible living environment for young students.
• Parent(s)
• Nominated custodian – A relative eligible to be nominated as a carer means a brother, sister, step-parent, step-brother, step-sister, grandparent, aunt, uncle, niece or nephew, step-grandparent, step-aunt, step-uncle, step-niece or step-nephew. To establish that a nominated carer is of good character, the student will be required to provide evidence of police clearance
Children do not need a student visa for courses shorter than 3 months.
Students who are not English first language are personally supported and tutored by English teachers. Modified programs are individually created in order to offer international students the language support that they require in order to reach their potential.
Most schools do not require English exams for students in grades 0-2. For grades 3 and above some sort of English exam or proof of competency is required.
At the Australian Study Center, we have consultants specializing in arrangements for younger students.
