Company Overview

     

International Students Cultural Exchange, based in Taipei, Taiwan, with its regional office in Foster City, California, was founded by Ken and Carol Soo in 1984.  Since our inception, our objective has been to promote international friendship and goodwill through the various programs we offer to students in the United States, Taiwan, and China.  It is our sincere hope that through the numerous programs that we offer, new friendships and alliances will be forged, cultural gaps will be bridged, and we will move beyond a world of tolerance to a world of appreciation and understanding.

Our English Study Tour Program and English Summer Camp Program enable Taiwanese and Chinese junior high, senior high and college students to study English during the summer and winter vacations in various countries including the United States, England, Canada, Australia, China and Taiwan.  ISCE’s longstanding experience and solid reputation have allowed us to maintain strong and productive relationships with Taiwanese and Chinese junior and senior high schools.  As such, each year we have approximately 1,000 students attend our study abroad programs.  Many students have also participated in our Work & Travel Program, Internship Program, and High School and College Academic Year Programs.  More than 120 American college students have attended our Teach & Travel Program in China and Taiwan in the last four summers. 

International Students Cultural Exchange employs a full-time staff of 25 people, all of whom are experienced and knowledgeable about the intricacies of international student exchange.  The support network that our staff provides for students attending one of our programs is unparalleled in that students are able to reach an ISCE staff member 24 hours a day.  In order to make the travel arrangements for our students as seamless as possible, ISCE also operates a travel agency, K.C. Holiday Tours, in both the United States and Taiwan.  The 15,000 students that have attended one of ISCE’s programs in the last twenty years are testaments to our expertise and professionalism in the field of international cultural exchange.
