Distant Placement Options

Interested in Winter 2026 Distant Placements? Great!

Check back again in late Spring 2025 to see the updated list. In the meantime, feel free to have a look at those available for 2024-2025.

ISA has opportunities available to FE4 students’ teachers, subject to availability and approval. Funding for accommodation and/or travel MAY be available; however, student teachers will need to organize and arrange these independently. The ISA only coordinates the placement for these opportunities and will connect you to our partners so you can arrange the rest.
