WHY DO WE OFFER OVERSEAS EXPERIENCES?

​

At ANI we offer a variety of overseas experiences for students as they expose young people to new cultures, languages, traditions, and ways of life. Students broaden their perspectives and develop

a greater appreciation for diversity. Experiencing different cultures at a young age can also foster tolerance, empathy and a global mindset. Your young person will come back as an independent traveler who will manage and have a new appreciation of money, while being more tolerant of the people around them. They may even come home with new friends but most of all have met cool people and made lasting memories.

WHY SAMOA?

Samoa is a unique environment formed thousands of years ago by epic volcanic activity that allows students to explore diverse scenery with tube caves, lava fields & lush plantations.

This trip also has a strong community focus and offers students the chance to give assistance and support the people and villages that have limited resources.
