On the day of arrival, a chaperone will meet your child at the airport, train, or bus station and identify themselves with official documentation. The chaperone will arrange arrival and departure logistics to ensure safe travel to and from the institution. On the day of departure, the chaperone will remain with your child until they have completed security for their flight or taken their seat on the train or bus.

Upon acceptance into Explore and prior to the session’s start date, you are required to provide the following, requested information:

• date and time of arrival and departure;
• name and location (city/town) of the airport, train/bus station, etc.;
• flight or train numbers, if applicable;
• telephone number(s) and an email address where you can be contacted at any time;
• signed authorization to the airline, train, or bus station to release information to program staff.

Many parents ask about contacting other students in their region who are going to the same institution to plan and coordinate travel itineraries. However, to ensure the privacy of your child and other program participants, we cannot share the names or arrival information of students at any given location.

NOTE: Chaperones may be also available for older students (under the age of 18). Please contact the host institution for more information.
