International House World Organisation regrets to announce the news of the closure of IH Sydney Training Services and their schools in Sydney, Bondi, Darwin, Melbourne, Gold Coast, Byron Bay and Adelaide.
Please note IH Brisbane – ALS is not affected by this closure and remains open for business as usual.
Emma Hoyle, Managing Director of IH World, stated: “Over the past four years, our affiliates have navigated a series of significant challenges and this is the latest example. Factors such as stricter visa regulation for overseas students have collectively limited international student mobility and created hurdles for many businesses within the education sector.”
We are deeply sorry for the impact caused by the closure of IH Sydney Training Services. We understand that this is a challenging time for students, parents, and agents affected by this situation.
IH World operates as a membership organisation and all affiliated schools are independently owned and operated. Despite the events of the past week, other International House schools continue to function smoothly, upholding the high standards of service, teaching, and student support that their community expects.
