Parents
It is a wonderful experience to have your children studying in an International setting. It is also stretching and
scary. We want you to know that we will
do everything possible to insure that your college student has a safe and life
impacting experience. Several of us on
staff have had our own children study in other countries and know first-hand
what it is like to let our own children go to a foreign land
Visiting your Son/Daughter
Taking a trip to Ecuador to visit and see where your son or daughter is studying, learning and growing can be a great experience. Please check with your son or daughter and with Phil Payne FIRST before you schedule a visit. While we do not discourage you from coming…(and we will be as helpful as we can be with logistics, etc)…we do want you to know that there are great times and not so great times each semester to visit. Please consult the calendar, your son or daughter and with Phil Payne before you come. We would recommend a 4 or 5 day stay in Ecuador.
Communicating with your son or daughter
Staying in touch is a fantastic way to share in your son or daughter’s semester in Ecuador. We would recommend Skype or email as the best way to do this.
Mail and Packages
Receiving mail is always a highlight. Please send cards and letters. If you decide to send a package – please remember that anything bigger than a 5 x 7 padded envelope probably will not arrive in time to your student. Mail all packages to :
