Dear Parents and Students,

Every summer, Institute for Foreign Study, Inc. (founded in 1991) invites students from ages 9 to 24 years old to participate in various cultural immersion and other programs in choice locations abroad. We would like you to be the first to know about our Summer 2008 Programs so you can plan your child's summer vacation way ahead of time. Slots on each program are limited and on a space-available basis to ensure ample supervision and monitoring.
