New Zealand offers a unique and diverse opportunity for your study abroad experience. Known for its mixture of European and Maori cultures, New Zealand is unlike any other English-speaking country in the world. The Kiwis – local folks – know how to make you feel welcome while opening up new ways of seeing the world around you. You may arrive unsure of what you will find, but you will leave knowing that you must come back.
Program includes round-trip air transportation from Cincinnati to New Zealand and ground / air transporting between program sites. Round-trip air transportation from other cities and / or extensions to the departure or return date will be considered on a case-by-case basis, at your own expense.

David Nelson
Program Director
After earning his bachelor’s in international studies and Political Science from the University of Wisconsin – Madison, having an interest in international education, David moved to Japan to teach English from 2008 to 2012. From this base he experienced life and culture while traveling throughout Southeast Asia, particularly South Korea, Malaysia, and The Philippines among other countries. After Japan, David lived and worked in Australia before returning to the USA to work for CCSA. David has directed the CCSA London and Australia programs and looks forward to directing the upcoming New Zealand program. When not traveling, David can be found reading, developing his skills as a web developer, and making dubious attempts at creating international cuisine.
