Educational Trip to Austria

In a new country, students encounter a different language, culture, and school environment, try themselves in unfamiliar situations, and gradually learn independence. They return home with the feeling: “I can do more than I thought.” Such international programs become a bridge for children between today’s school life and the adult world. After these trips, dreams of studying abroad or pursuing an international career no longer seem distant, but become real goals they can steadily work toward together with “My Horizons” Lyceum.
