NOTES

* Our leadership program is available for returning students at the beginning of their second semester and is optional. Students who are returning for their second semester and choose not to participate in the month-long leadership program can deduct $900 and return to Portantorchas a month later.

** Currently, our mandatory trip is made outside of the country to renew the 90 day travel visa for our foreign students. We usually go to Panama, Nicaragua, or Honduras. This trip is optional for 2nd semester students that do not participate in our leadership program and will not be in the country more than 90 days. In that case, the cost of the second semester will be further reduced by $400.

*** The basic costs of the Mission Trip are covered by your tuition payment. However, raising additional funds may become part of the student preparation for the mission trip if the group chooses to purchase additional materials, supplies, etc. in order to meet a need in the community where the mission trip takes place.
