Our Core Beliefs

The success of our approach to global studies rest upon our following core beliefs:

  • We believe academics are the core of a study abroad program.  With that in mind, we offer intellectually engaging classes that are taught by experienced St. John’s faculty and leading faculty abroad.
  • We believe meaningful community service is integral to a fulfilling and satisfying international experience. That's why we incorporate true service and reflection – typically with an eye toward global poverty relief – into each of our programs.
  • We believe global studies should be within every student’s financial reach.  We offer generous financial aid that accommodates every student regardless of program length and cost.
  • We believe your study abroad experience must safely expand your horizons.  That is why we place full-time student life and academic support staff in each of our locations and also the services of worldwide emergency assistance – all covered by your program fee.
