Learning Curriculum

Students will attend classes and excursions during the week. On Mondays and Fridays they will attend all day excursions with Aventuras Colorado. Tuesday through Thursday they will attend an English class from 9:00 – 12:00, have lunch together as a group and an afternoon excursion to coincide with the teachings of that morning.

We ask that you are able to drop off your student between 8:45 and 9:00 a.m. each morning and pick them up by 5:00 p.m. each evening. Students will spend weekends participating in your family’s leisure activities.
