How it works
Immersive, not touristy.
Adolescence is a great time to broaden your horizons, so the Passport Program makes international travel part of every student’s SA experience.
We offer four to six international Intersession courses each year. Many repeat every other year, so students have more than one chance to sign up.
Each trip has a specific focus. These are not tourist excursions, but immersive experiences.

Students who travel come home with new friends, new skills, and a wider view of the world.
