Additional travel
Trips are not included in most programs. However, students often have the opportunity to travel
around their host country while abroad with host family or friends. They are responsible for paying
for any outside travel, and it must not interfere with school.
School credit
Students are responsible for meeting with their high school guidence counselor to determine
how they can earn credit abroad. Students will most likely need to present copies of assignments
to their high school.
