Cost Estimates
We know that finances are likely the biggest obstacle to prospective students of this course. If thinking of this course as a once in a lifetime experience, think of the money spent as an investment in your own future as an educator and citizen of the world. With this course, you can have experiences that would be hard to find anywhere else, and share in those experiences with people from all walks of life, both in Hawaii and abroad. They say that traveling abroad is one of the best personal investments someone can make for their own personal growth, and that is something we firmly believe in.
Below are cost estimates for each of the major expenses you will have for your travel investment. We will set aside time in several course sessions to work together on travel logistics and best practices to help you make the cheapest and most efficient travel routes possible.
