If you checked multiple courses, please list them in order of your preference.

Write your first choice first, then your second choice, then your third, etc.

SStS courses involve strenuous work and limited access to hygiene amenities. Consequently, students are pushed out of their comfort zones. How will your son or daughter respond to the stress that may arise in these situations? How well does he or she handle adversity?*

Central to the success of SStS courses is a student's ability to work effectively as part of a group of peers and course instructors. Please describe how your son or daughter tends to perform as a member of a group, and his/her effect on peers.*

Many travel-based organizations for youth are focused primarily on cultural immersion experiences. SStS courses also focus on significant service work, study, and group discussion. How do you think your son or daughter will perform in a program with these components?*

In order to encourage students to be fully present, cellphones are not used on SStS courses (other than while travelling to and from the gateway city). How do you think your son or daughter will respond to having limited access to technology? How do you think these limitations will affect you?*

Has your child ever been suspended/expelled from school or faced any disciplinary actions? If yes, please explain.*

Answering yes will not prevent acceptance. SStS verifies your response to this question with our partner schools.

Please evaluate your son or daughter's personality in the following categories:
