Participants will form a close, cooperative community for their time together in China, India or Brazil.   Trust, honesty, and mutual respect will be the hallmarks of this community.   We expect good judgment on the part of students and have no wish to develop a multitude of petty rules.  

Because our programs are designed for students committed to learning as much as they can about China, India, and Brazil we have arranged a great variety of interesting and involving experiences.   We want to help students have a wonderful time; we do not want to serve as police.   Therefore, we expect their absolute compliance with these major rules.   Students should participate in this program only if they intention to abide by them.   If there are questions or concerns, please contact us now before applying.  

Both applicants and their parents should pay close attention to these guidelines to make sure that they are in agreement with these fundamental rules that will underlie our communities next summer.  

• Students are expected to attend every class and session of program activities.  
• All private outings beyond program sites are subject to prior approval and scrutiny by the adult supervisory staff.  
• Each student will personally sign in with the supervisor on duty each evening by 10:30 PM.  
• Boys and girls are not allowed in each other’s private rooms unsupervised.   (We will have Common Rooms in both China, India, and Brazil that will be open until 10:15 PM.   )
• Alcohol and drug possession and consumption are strictly forbidden and will result in dismissal from the program and immediate return home at parents’ expense.  
• Any behavior that is insulting to the host country or detrimental to the program will not be tolerated.
