Interlearn is a global education company committed to expanding access to quality higher education through transformative teaching and learning programs.
​
Our programs offer international students earned admission, college credits, essential skills, and cross-cultural learning. Interlearn ensures a smooth transition to world-class universities for undergraduate and postgraduate degrees.
What makes us different
We work closely with leading educational institutions, edtech companies, and regional communities to expand access, optimize experiential learning, build cultural bridges, and transform 21st-century education.
With our help, students earn credits and university admission before they ever leave home.
Undergraduate students can start their degree in your own country and transfer with credentials to a top US university.
​
Our mission is to make the transition between high school and university a time of inspiration, experiential learning, and growth for international students (not a test prep year). Interlearn places talented international students into a blended learning, three-part program that prepares them academically and culturally for a successful transition into the American mainstream and US university life. Interlearn students do not need to take the SAT or TOEFL exams, making Interlearn more affordable than direct admission to US universities.
