Europe 2021 is filling up fast!
Thank you to those who attended our meeting and to those who wanted more information, but were unable to make it. The info meeting was a packed house of over 200 excited students and parents. We are so thrilled for our educational and adventurous TWO TOURS to London, Paris, and the Alps AND to Explore Italy.
The enrollments have already started pouring in, so we wanted to quickly send this email before all the spots are claimed.
Teachers and students (and parents) will be traveling across England, France, Germany, Prague, and the Alps OR take a deep dive into Italy (and delicious pasta!) through Milan, Venice, Pisa, Rome, Pompeii and more. Each trip has wonderfully immersive, hands-on activities, as well as interacting with the local cultures.
The trip price includes roundtrip airfare, transportation (motorcoach, train, boat, etc.), hotels with private bathrooms in rooms, entry fees, expert local guides, breakfast & dinner each day, opportunity for high school credit, Global Travel Protection Plan Insurance, and the most valuable part: the 24/7 Tour Director who leads, teaches, and entertains during the trip.
Here are the Enrollment Links for more information:
