About Program
Discover the beauty of Amsterdam’s iconic canals and low-laying brick buildings, quintessential to the creative culture of the city today.
Amsterdam is the capital of the Netherlands and ideal if you’re looking for a unique yet highly European study location. Founded in the 12th century as a fishing village, Amsterdam became an important trading port during the Dutch Golden Age in the 17th century. Amsterdam is a large city with over 850,000 residents, but is relatively compact, making it accessible and easy to navigate. This highly diverse cultural hub is known for its renowned museums and art, all with an undeniably cozy and laid-back atmosphere.

We have partnered with Fill it Forward to engage team members and program participants in waste reduction practices. The goal is to encourage the elimination of single-use waste. Every QR code scan shows the impact of reusable bottles and unlocks a donation to environmental impact groups.

Our commitment is fueled by the passion of our team members and partners to make experiential learning accessible, while also being socially, environmentally, and ethically responsible. Together, we accomplish this by investing in initiatives to promote inclusion, diversity, and sustainability.
