Supervision Level for St. Petersburg, Russia

Supervision level  

The supervision level for this program is LOW. 

This program is intended for the mature teen/young adult who is comfortable with a fair amount of independence.  Students are accompanied by school staff during class time or on school-organized activities.  At all other times they are free to explore St. Petersburg and the surrounding areas by themselves or with friends (recommended as its more fun!). 

This is an adult program and is ideal for students who have some travel experience, are used to time away from family and are able to effectively manage themselves in new and unfamiliar situations. There is no curfew and students are not monitored as they would be in a regular teen program.

The homestay option offers a slightly higher level of support for students. While there is no cuffew, homestay "parents" expect you to indicate when you will be returning home in the evening. 

If students are not behaving in a manner considered acceptable for their age, homestay parents will report this to school staff and this could result in expulsion from the program without refund.   For more information please contact us toll-free on 1 888 386 1411.

Note for parents

Europe is a place where people of all ages tend to stay out quite late at night. 

Dinner is often not eaten until 9:30 PM and many European teens consider it very unfashionable to go out before 11:00 PM. During the summer months the streets of many European cities or towns are crowded until 2:00 or 3:00 AM and the lack of curfew for this program reflects this lifestyle. 

Please call us toll-free on 1 888 386 1411 if you would like a more in-depth understanding of the Russian culture and what your teen will experience while in Russia.
