communicable diseases HEALTH & SAFETY Guidance

Students and families are encouraged to:

• Vaccinate students for communicable diseases (ex. flu, COVID) to help protect themselves and other students from getting ill
• Monitor the student’s health in the days leading up to course start
• show up to course start symptom-free of communicable diseases (ex. flu, cold, strep, COVID, etc.) for the previous 72 hours and test for COVID-19 within 48 hours of course start
• Arriving with symptoms of communicable diseases may result in isolation or non-admittance to course transportation.

We do not offer refunds or credits for communicable disease-related early departures. 

As such, we strongly encourage all families to purchase trip insurance. This would cover any unforeseen medical reasons why a student might need to leave a trip early. In this scenario, you would file a claim with your insurance provider, and we could help with documentation if necessary. We recommend purchasing trip insurance through InsureMyTrip. Find out more and receive a free quote from InsureMyTrip.
