NOTICE: Due to the unique nature of this trip, you will not be admitted to the trip until your application has been reviewed by one of the School of Education trip leaders. Within a few days of submitting your application, you will receive confirmation that you have been admitted to the trip or that you have been put on the waitlist. Spots in each classroom setting (e.g., elementary, middle school, high school) in Rehoboth are limited and, hence, each applicant is reviewed first to make sure there is an even distribution of majors across the classroom settings. Please allow at least 3 business days for processing. Do not make a deposit until your spot has been confirmed.
