Frequently Asked Questions

We believe that all our offered options this year will provide you with a unique and fulfilling experience. To ensure that you get your desired field of study, make sure to apply and send in your deposit early; this secures your first selection in the program. There is a limit of 15 students per field of study.

The non-refundable deposit is meant to ensure that when your student applies for a field of study, they will get into that field of study by securing their spot at that time with the deposit. There is a minimum of 10 participants to offer a field of study. In the unlikely event that we would be unable to run a field of study, the deposit would be refunded.
