Safety and Insurance
The safety of our students is of the utmost importance to us. During all trips and activities, our students are guided by a tour guide and an instructor-chaperone, and we take every precaution that students stay safe. Students will never be forced to do an activity outside of their comfort zone.
Class sizes are kept small so that each student can receive personal attention while studying, and to ensure safer trips and activities. Sisak is a small and safe city with kind local people, and any potential problems are reported immediately and taken seriously.
We do strongly suggest that students have travel insurance in the event of an accident.
