Student Horizons and the International Coalition of Girls’ Schools Announce Strategic Partnership to Empower Girls Through Global Educational Experiences

 

The International Coalition of Girls’ Schools (ICGS) and Student Horizons are proud to announce a new strategic partnership that will champion experiential learning, global citizenship, and leadership development for girls across Australia, New Zealand, and Southeast Asia.

Effective from 1 January 2026 to 31 December 2031, this partnership recognises Student Horizons as the Exclusive Preferred Educational Travel Strategic Partner for the region, with the shared aim of expanding access to transformative global learning opportunities for girls and young women.

Through this collaboration, Student Horizons and ICGS will work together to connect schools, educators, and students with meaningful international experiences that build confidence, compassion, and cultural understanding. The partnership will also create platforms to share thought leadership on risk management, wellbeing, and the role of experiential learning in shaping future leaders.
Student Horizons will play a prominent role at upcoming ICGS events, including:

  • Educating Girls Symposiums in Melbourne (April 2026) and Auckland (November 2026),
  • and the 2026 ICGS Global Forum on Girls’ Education in Toronto, Canada (June 2026), where the organisation will lead sessions highlighting the power of global travel and experiential programs in supporting girls’ education and empowerment.

Loren Bridge, Regional Executive Director of ICGS, said:

“ This partnership with Student Horizons reflects our shared vision to cultivate global awareness and a lifelong passion for learning among girls. By creating more pathways for international engagement, we are equipping students with the skills and confidence to thrive in a complex, interconnected world.”

Jamie Wansey, Founder and Managing Director of Student Horizons, said:

“ We’re honoured to partner with ICGS, a global leader in advancing girls’ education. This partnership underscores Student Horizons’ commitment to empowering girls through experiences beyond the classroom — opportunities that inspire leadership, resilience, and understanding through travel and connection.”
Together, ICGS and Student Horizons are reaffirming their commitment to nurturing the next generation of globally minded young women who will shape tomorrow’s world with purpose and confidence.
