Our Mission

Through our international education programs we deliver cultural and educational experiences that enable our participant students to build strong personal connections with the people of the host cities and countries. 

It is through these connections that cultural understanding, language skills and global awareness are developed, nurturing a global mindset in the young that is both open and inclusive.

Our Passion

At Lumiere International we focus on the social aspects of evolving students around the world into becoming global citizens.

Through our immersion programs, multicultural festivals and local excursions, all students are provided the opportunity to interact and develop friendships with their peers on the other side of the world while also gaining knowledge of the outside world.

We believe through expanding the horizons of young minds, our program will boost a more confident, socio-culturally aware and bright younger generation as they step into leadership roles of the future.

Nurturing an open and inclusive global mindset!

History of our programs

Lumiere International has been operating its international education programs around the world for more than 7 years and has continued post COVID with the launch of its exclusive World Scholars Youth Program.

  • May 2015Lumiere International Founded

    Bringing their skills, knowledge and experiences together, the founders of Lumiere International Indah and Robert set about creating the Australian Company and their network of global partnerships.

  • September 2015San Diego, United States of America

    Lumiere International hosted their first program in partnership with the University of California San Diego (UCSD). With over 200 participating students from Indonesia, who joined the program which embedded an extensive English as a Second Language course hosted at the University and a number of really exciting excursions which included Disneyland, Universal Studios and Seaworld

  • Jan 2019COVID19 Global Pandemic Hit

    From the beginning of 2019 our entire world was hit by the emerging COVID19 pandemic. This resulted in national and international travel bans from most countries around the world, which had a severe impact on the International Education institutions and students. Many programs were cancelled and many students were forced to return to their countries of origin.

  • June 2021World Travel Bans Started Lifting

    Around the middle of 2021 we started to see the international travel bans from many countries beginning to lift. There were still many very stringent travel requirements in place in order for travel permits to be approved, these included proof of vaccination, negative PCR tests prior to departure and in some cases on arrival. With these events the International Education Industry began to kick back into gear as many countries looked to find quick ways to bolster their enormous budget deficits and kick start their post-pandemic economic crisis recovery.

  • October 2021San Diego, United States of America

    With renewed vigour Lumiere International restarted their international education programs with the launch of the inaugural World Scholars Youth Program 2021. This time returning to their familiar home of California, however the English as a Second Language tuition programs was to be delivered by their new partner San Diego State University (SDSU). As this was the first post-pandemic program to be run we saw a reduction in the numbers with only 70 participating students from Indonesia. The program was a huge success which gave our team and our clients a massive boost in confidence that we, Lumiere International and our strategic education partners around the world were ready to return to our pre-COVID operating levels.

  • July 2022Toronto, Canada

    Lumiere International's second World Scholars Youth Program 2022 found it's home in the city of Toronto Canada.
