She's The First

Travel to Japan

Is your student not sure what their plans are for next summer yet? Consider sending them on a cultural experience of a lifetime to Japan in June 2024! 


This week, I am opening a select number of seats to our 10th and 9th grade students to join us in Japan next summer. If this might be for you, consider applying with Mrs. Kerkman today! 


If your student wants to broaden their horizons, explore a new country, develop personal growth, learn independence and responsibility, network with others from around the country, potentially earn college credit, and have stories to share on college applications, please consider submitting their name today! Students may also use the trip as an alternative term project at the end of the year.


I will happily meet 1-1 with any families interested in learning more. Please email liane.kerkman@basised.com to learn more! 


Here is a link to our registration page. Here you can view the itinerary, all the included amenities, and payment plan information.
