Leisure time

The free-time program, which the school offers, makes it possible for you to explore Santa Barbara, while gettting to know your fellow classmates better. There are a variety of weekend trips to neighboring attractions (for example, to Disneyland® and Universal Studios® in Los Angeles, the Grand Canyon or Las Vegas). In addition, Santa Barbara, itself, has much to see and do. A visit to the zoo, the botanical gardens or a trip to the Santa Ynez mountains is definitely worthwhile.
