I know that I’ll always remember working on the farm and in the garden. I’ll never forget the thrilling adventures of the caves or the exhausting experience of the five-hour hike. And I’ll always think of my kind host family and their gentle San Clemente when I remember Ecuador.” — Student, Class trip to Ecuador

  • “Our trip to Cádiz (Spain) was a 10/10. It provided students with a unique and invaluable opportunity to apply their language skills, gain a deep understanding of Spanish culture, and grow personally. The trip was well-organized. It had a really good variety of activities in the program. Liz was a wonderful leader that made very close connections with our students. My students were fully engaged at all times, and the impact on their education and personal development was undeniable. They became more self-reliant, adaptable, and culturally sensitive. They broadened their perspectives, challenged their assumptions, and gained a greater appreciation for diversity. The experience encouraged them to think globally and cultivate a more profound sense of empathy for others. I am convinced that this experience will resonate with my students for a lifetime, inspiring them to continue exploring the world and embracing diverse cultures. ¡Gracias de corazón!”. — Maitane Elorza - Teacher at Sonoma Academy
