Please note that our 2025 programs are open for applications, and while most sessions are confirmed to run, not all session dates are currently confirmed to depart. We are confirming sessions to run on a rolling basis, but encourage you to save your spot early as waitlists have already begun to form.

Please familiarize yourself with ourrefund policyprior to placing your deposit. Your deposit and application fee are non-refundable, but your deposit is fully transferable as a lifetime credit within the guidelines of our Terms & Conditions.

We recommend Travel Insurance with Cancel for Any Reason coverage to protect your investment beyond our Terms & Conditions. Travelers will need to wait to purchase flights until the program has been confirmed to run. We anticipate programs will be confirmed to begin booking flights starting in late winter and continuing through the spring.

Application, Screening & Disclosures -We are committed to fostering access and inclusion while maintaining a safe, supportive, and empowering environment for all participants. We partner with families through open, collaborative communication to remove barriers wherever possible, to ensure that each student can engage, meaningfully, within our global programs. Applications are reviewed holistically with theEssential Eligibility Criteriain mind. We may request additional information or input from medical professionals to better understand if and how we can provide appropriate support to facilitate safe accommodations and participation. To support this process, completion of our Plans of Action by the participant and their treatment team may be required. We invite early and transparent dialogue about health, wellbeing, or support needs so we can explore reasonable accommodations and set shared expectations for success.

Following an individualized review and interactive process, if it is determined that a student’s needs cannot be safely or reasonably accommodated without fundamentally altering the program or compromising safety, we will communicate that participation cannot proceed, with transparency and respect.
