Welcome teachers! This page is designed to help you understand World School, our programs, what we provide, what your responsibilities will be as a teacher, and how to go about signing up your student group.
We max our groups out at 15 students and keep a ratio of 1 leader to 5 students. In order to maintain the integrity of small travel groups and in the interest of keeping student costs low, extra chaperones are not considered necessary. World School programs are built upon our philosophy of Four Cornerstones of Education: Culture, History, Environmental Awareness and Community Service. Stepping Outside the Box While we push students to step outside their comfort zones and try new activities, we would never put any student in harm's way or ask them to go against their own morals or physical adeptness. World School programs involve the whole student in the sense that we encourage students not only to learn about new cultures and environments, but also to learn about themselves through new experiences. All World School program costs include round trip airfare from the west coast*, meals, lodging, and activities. In other words, our program costs are all-inclusive except for personal spending money (suitable for souvenirs, snacks, email time, phone cards, postcards, etc). (*If your student group originates beyond a west coast hub airport, we will advise you of the additional airfare costs before you present to your student group and parents.) Extras costs include fees associated with obtaining passports, visas, and personal equipment (backpacks, cameras, clothing etc.). Before the Program: It is imperative that paperwork is returned to us on time so that we can process everything quickly for your student group. During the Program: Student behavior is something that affects the entire group during the programs. World School adheres strictly to the Behavior Contract and expects teachers to enforce and uphold the integrity of the Behavior Contract for themselves and their students. World School, Inc. is a non-profit organization and part of our mission statement is to provide international education opportunities for all students. In so stating, we design our programs with the utmost affordability in mind and created the Sponsor-A-Scholar Program to enable students to raise money for participation in World School programs. If you have students in need of scholarship assistance, please refer them to the Sponsor-A-Scholar Program as there is additional paperwork these students must complete.
