Dear families,

We’re thrilled to share that we’re heading to Greece and Italy in Summer 2027, and we’d love for your student to join us!

This is an incredible opportunity for students to explore new places, experience different cultures, and gain lifelong skills like independence and confidence. I’ll be sharing all the details, including what we’ll see and do, hands-on learning activities, academic opportunities, trip costs, and how to secure a spot at our informational meeting.

Meeting details:
📅 Date: Monday, December 15
🕒 Time: 5:30 PM
📍 Location: OAS Cafeteria
👉 RSVP here to join us: https://rsvp.eftours.com/ukv635p

We’ll also open enrollment during the meeting—spots are limited, and I would love to help you secure this experience for your child.

In the meantime, please visit EF’s website to get answers to common parent questions. EF Tours is our trusted travel partner, and they have 60 years of experience helping students explore the world safely and affordably.

I hope to see you there and look forward to sharing how this trip can be a powerful and unforgettable chapter in your child’s life!

Best,
