about us

Experience shows us that ISP’s dedication to academic excellence and cultural insights can truly impact the future careers of students who have traveled with us – many stay in touch with us even after the program to let us know how they’ve progressed – often into international careers.

Since 1999, our clients have benefitted from our personal approach – our commitment to custom design each trip means that each study tour is unique – tailored to meet your academic objectives while respecting your budget. An extensive network of industry leaders & commentators allows us to identify & provide you with the right speakers, the right topics & the right personality to suit the needs of your program – no matter where you travel.

History

In early 1999 sitting at the kitchen table with a cup of coffee, a pencil, a calculator and an idea, ISP’s managing director put together a business plan for a company whose aim would be to add real educational value to business school study tours.

Over the next few weeks and months, the idea grew, with International Study Programs finally opening its doors in Prague in September 1999

From an initial headcount of just 1.5 employees, over time ISP has become a truly globalized company.  Our staff of 30 coming from around the globe to work at ISP makes sure our office in Prague is a high energy, multicultural environment where on any day you can hear Spanish, Portuguese, English, Czech, Slovak, French, Dutch, Hindi, Malay, Mandarin, Hungarian, German and Russian being spoken as our teams organize programs in over 60 cities globally.

ISP has certainly changed and grown a lot over the 10 years of our existence yet we have remained true to our original vision – to create meaningful academic experiences globally for business school students.

With a passion for education, travel and service, ISP has pioneered new structures of itinerary design, and created programs which are regularly regarded among the most memorable and valuable of the business school experience. To achieve this, ISP has worked closely with faculty, students and university administrators from across North America, Mexico, Europe & Asia to create programs of real academic value and relevance.

As we begin our second decade, we focus on using technology and new forms of communication to help us build ever-more effective, relevant and fun international study programs.

Innovative. Service-driven. Professional. This is ISP.
