My South American Classroom – Coming December 1, 2025

Is it better to spend third grade on another continent, making friends in different languages and exploring new places, or am I just missing out on life back home?

As Oliver makes friends who don’t speak the same language, overcomes travel mishaps, and takes on new challenges, he grows in his confidence to navigate different landscapes and cultures.
