 * Rules And Guidelines During A School Trip**

Positive and appropriate behavior is expected and encouraged throughout the course. **//It is unacceptable for students to inconvenience others and/or jeopardize the safety of themselves or others//**. Students must satisfy the chaperones that they have the background to enjoy the course, and that they will be supportive of the group for the duration of the course.

According to CAC school policy, students will have an opportunity to travel within Egypt and to other countries as members of various classes and activities. The intent of student travel is to expand the educational experience by providing personal and cultural enrichment.

//Student travel in connection with co-curricular and athletic activities is considered a valuable experience and an extension of the school’s regular on campus programs. It provides opportunities for cultural enrichment and personal growth. The representation of the school through participation in such activities enhances school spirit, provides incentives for achievement and develops self-respect and maturity//.
