That's a Wrap!

That’s a wrap, Abbey Roaders! After a farewell BBQ last night at Stanford University, all of our programs are now complete and this summer was a HUGE success!

We hope you have learned new skills, gained a greater sense of respomsibility, and immersed yourselves in different cultures. 

As always, thanks so much for your support. We’ll keep posting throughout the year, and we hope to see you next summer! Good luck with the upcoming school year. — at Stanford University.

Diverse and Effective Diplomats

Today our students on Leadership Academy held a Model United Nations session at Stanford University.

The debate was lively and exciting as students discussed nuclear nonproliferation with confidence! Our directors and instructors were extremely impressed — it is clear that these students are ready for college.
