Admissions & Getting Started

Schedule a virtual meeting with us. If you are under 18, you are required to have a parent or guardian present. Meetings are done on Zoom, Google Meets, or via phone call.
Step 3: Review your project’s tuition cost
Review the offer email, which includes the cost, sample itinerary, what is included, and what you need to submit.
