Teacher Counselor: Julie Alexander
“This cutting-edge program combines independence with structure, teamwork with leadership, rigor with fun, and guidelines with creativity.
Through this experience, students discover a country’s history, art, current events, politics, religion, architecture, customs, science, etc. in small study groups while facilitated by a trained Teacher Counselor and Program Director. The program focuses on independent, active, and hands-on learning, which benefits students with many learning styles. This is an excellent experience for students entering their last years of high school and eventually college. I truly believe in this program’s mission.”
