Thank you for all your work..” – Parent, Greens Farms Academy, Costa Rica 2010
“This trip showed me how much I could connect to a family of such a different culture. It inspired me to be open to all cultures and try to learn all about them. Also, the Costa Rican determination to preserve the rainforest inspired me.” – Student, Dalton School, Costa Rica 2009
“[This trip] has made me think harder and a lot more consciously about the future and what I want for myself.” – Student, Dalton School, Costa Rica 2009
“This trip inspired me to make a difference in the world and explore the world. I want to dedicate myself to a cause that will help communities like this one.” – Student, Holton-Arms School, Costa Rica 2009
“I gained ecological information about the rainforest, cloudforest and tropical agriculture. I also appreciated working with students who were in difference grade levels as it helped me develop my skills in developing group dynamics. Lastly I truly benefited from the chance to facilitate cross-cultural immersions.” – Gretchen Bauer, Faculty, The Potomac School, Costa Rica 2009
“Our goals were met. She gave to a community in need, integrated herself within that community, making strong bonds. Megan also created new friendships in The Potomac School which should be rewarding as she finished her second and final year there. It was a positive life experience that she would not have had, had it not been for World Leadership School.” – Parent, The Potomac School, Costa Rica 2009
“The program was very organized, well prepared, worth the time and expense and also offered a delightful staff.” – Parent, The Potomac School, Costa Rica 2009
