I’ve posted before on this subject, so will just summarize my opinion (based on my daughter’s three week Europe trip) that it’s a very well-run, expensive travel program which purports to have more educational heft than it actually does and which suggests in its materials that it is highly competitive, which it isn’t. (Others here have had different experiences/opinions.) You won’t have a problem with missing the info session. They won’t turn you away in any case, and the session doesn’t add much to what’s available on the website and in their written materials other than an impassioned sales job by the folks who run the organization, a chance to hear from the particular schoolteachers who will be leading your kid’s trip, and a bunch of personal comments by previous participants–all glowing, of course, or they wouldn’t have shown up.
