COMBO MAKE A DIFFERENCE & DISCOVER THE U.S.
Often called "The Gathering Place", the Hawaiian island of O'ahu is the perfect place to meet and connect with your au pair classmates. Its beautiful landscapes include stunning cliffs, the glittering Pacific Ocean, and lush greenery as far as the eye can see. This five-day course is located in the Honolulu area and gives students the chance to experience local culture through excursions like the Polynesian Cultural Center and the Pearl Harbor National Memorial.
