A Transforming Experience

Sojourning intentionally in a new and different culture abroad, especially in one both historically and aesthetically rich, is an ideal "gap year" or "time out" experience.

The Sojourns Abroad programs provide an incomparable opportunity for personal growth. They broaden perspective, deepen awareness and heighten compassion. They also provide oblique, provocative insights into one's own culture. The program focus on global citizenship notably enlarges one's perspective.

There is a vast difference between a mere experience and a learning experience, one that is truly transforming. Sojourns Abroad's sensitive, seasoned mentors and its structured program of enriching activities provide participants with unique opportunities to learn in new and engaging ways. Such a sojourn is a nurturing and stimulating respite from the restricting demands of both traditional academic paths and conventional study abroad programs.

"Sojourns Abroad is not only an educational experience but also a transformational opportunity - a true awakening"
Edward Kowalchick, former Head of Georgetown Preparatory School
