    Step 2: Reserve Your Space

    To ensure that your place is reserved on one of our tours, you must complete:

    1. The Online Application Form

    2. Provide deposit payment of $800 USD, which includes $700 USD fee payment and $100 USD non-refundable application fee. If your application is accepted, the $800 USD will be applied to your total fee payment.

      We must receive the remainder of the payment 90 days prior to the departure date. For tours booked less than 90 days before departure, we must receive full payment within seven days of your initial $800 USD deposit to continue to hold the space in the program.

    Step 3: Submit Your References

    Before a final admission decision is reached by our Admissions Team, you must ensure that 2 teacher references forms are submitted. These documents are part of the Online Application Form. Admissions decisions are typically reached within 5 working days of receipt of all required information. You will be notified by email. If for whatever reason your application is not accepted, the deposit fee will be refunded less the $100 non-refundable fee.

  • Our tour fees exclude the following: the costs of international flights, travel insurance, and souvenirs.  There are some days where lunch is not provided so that students can have independent choice of their food options.

  • If you require a visa to travel to one of our destinations, you will be responsible for visa costs and applications. These costs usually range between $25 USD to $150 USD depending on the destination and your nationality. As application times vary, we encourage students to submit their visa applications as soon as possible to be sure the necessary visa is received before applying for a tour.

  • We accept applications for our programmes throughout the year. Early applications are encouraged so we can ensure you will be accepted on your first choice of programme. We usually receive more applications than we are able to accommodate on any given programme.

  • Our tours are run for 14-19 year old secondary and high school students. All students must be aged 14 before the departure date of our tours. In the British school system, students should be currently in Year 9 minimum to apply. In the American school system, students should be in Grade 10 minimum to apply.

  • We accept Visa and MasterCard payments, PayPal, Wise transfer, and bank transfers.

  • If you apply for a programme and it is full, you can apply for our waiting list. To reserve your spot on the waiting list. you must provide a payment of $800 USD to hold a place on the waiting list. If a spot does not become available, the $800 USD payment will be fully refunded.

  • Students are responsible for following up on their teacher references and ensuring that the Admissions Team receives these in a timely manner so that an admissions decision can be made.

  • The $800 USD fee payment that you have made will be returned to you in full.

  • We encourage applications to be submitted 90 days or more prior to the trip’s departure date. However, we do accept applications within 90 days of departure, but the remainder of the fee will be due 7 days after an application has been accepted.

  • To withdraw from a tour, the Admissions Team must receive written email confirmation. Applications withdrawn over 7 days before the departure date will incur a $200 USD withdrawal fee + $100 non-refundable fee, with any remaining fee(s) refunded. Applications withdrawn less than 7 days prior to the departure date will incur a fee of 50% of the trip fee.

  • We do offer Trip Cancellation Insurance through one of our partners at an additional cost. If students may need to need to cancel due to medical reasons, we encourage purchasing Trip Cancellation Insurance. This insurance is only available for UAE residents.

    We also recommend comprehensive travel medical insurance policies for students travelling. Travel insurance is a requirement to participate in a tour, and is an additional cost.
