What to Expect for Parents

Every year we help hundreds of teens have amazing immersion experiences all over the world and for many, it is truly life changing in the most positive of ways! Teens who are happiest with their program choice are those who have realistic and well-matched expectations for the program they choose.  We can't stress enough how important this is because if you or your child are expecting one thing and experience another you may be disappointed!

One of the best ways to avoid disappointment is to take the time to go through our site; in addition to program-specific information, we also have extensive general information and resources that you can access from our left-hand menu. We also encourage your child to learn as much as they can about their destination city and country. The more they know about the food, weather, people and history of a place the fewer surprises they'll experience and the more they'll get out of their time there.

To help you and your teen get started on your quest for information, we have addressed, in Q & A format, the most popular questions we get asked each year. Due the volume of information, we have created three pages of info as follows:

General Q & A

Homestay Q & A

Residence Q & A

If you have any questions about the information we have provided or if there is something we haven't addressed, don't hesitate to contact us.
