CARES (Creative Academic Resources for Educational Success)
SIFAT offers interactive field trips or CARES Programs to public, private, Christian and home school students, as well as youth groups and scout troops. Our curriculum provides students of all ages an opportunity to participate in hands-on activities with an international perspective.
Where else can students (and chaperones) sample cultures from Asia, Africa and Latin America? Make bricks from clay and straw? Explore sources of alternative energy--and much more? CARES field trips are cross-culturally oriented, take place within SIFAT's Global Village and are available throughout the year.

Around the World CARES (ATW) is a geography-based program that allows students to walk into developing countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America. Students learn what daily life is like outside of their communities, such as climates and terrains, animal life, unique foods, native jobs and cultural entertainment.
ATW CARES offers an optional special programmed lunch, the Hunger Banquet, designed to make the statistics of world hunger come alive.
