What Students and Parents are Saying
Remmy -
"Overall I would rate the LeaderSail experience Fantastic!"
Anastasia -
"This has been the best thing I have ever done!"
Angeles -
"You really can’t just explain this trip, you can look anything up online, and you can see it there, but it’s not the same if you are not there. You really don’t know what it is until you’re there, you just have to try it out, give it a shot!"
Parent of Noah-
"Thank you for so many things...especially for giving Noah an amazing experience, for taking great care of my kid, and for all the photos and videos! He chatted and told me stories the entire 2.5 hour drive from the airport, and while we looked at the photos and videos. He had the time of his life!"
