Short Term Exchange Program

STEP – Brazil: EIPG
Cost: $2200 – approximately 9-10 travel days (includes transportation, meals, accommodations)
Leaders: Mr. Dale Schilling & Mrs. Ellen Rasper

Open to students in grades: 9-12
Passport Required
Travel with us to Atibaia, Sao Paulo, Brazil as we serve with
teachers and students from our sister school, Escola
Internatcional Preparando Geracoes (EIPG). They will be our
hosts as we travel with them to serve the community with a
“Vacation Bible School” type of program. You will be immersed into the
Brazilian culture where Portuguese is the native language. Schools are on
“Summer Break” during January – haven’t you ever wanted to go to Brazil for
summer break in January? This very special school collaboration is being
planned in a local community that needs the Gospel. Our ministry will include
music, sports, arts, English classes, and much more as we work together with EIPG students and parents. We believe
these days will be a blessing to all involved and a powerful way of sharing the Gospel.
While not a prerequisite, students participating in this trip are asked to consider hosting a student from EIPG during their
two week visit to CVCA, in the fall (Homecoming week).
Note: In addition to a passport, students are required to have a visa to travel to Brazil (approx. $150), contact Mr. Schilling
for details.

Doulos Discovery School (DDS) is a vibrant bi-lingual Christian school set in the
verdant mountains of Jarabacoa, Dominican Republic. Known by Dominicans as
the outdoor adventure capitol of the DR, this area boasts the highest peak in the
Caribbean, multiple waterfalls along two major rivers, mountain biking, hiking,
rappelling, zip lines and rock climbing. DDS offers CVCA's only reciprocal
exchange program. Preview Doulos’ study-abroad program for yourself, and visit
with CVCA’s former exchange students now attending DDS. We will offer hands-
on service opportunities on campus and in the community. We will stay in villas
within walking distance of the school (bring a swim suit for the pool!) and will
spend time interacting with students, helping in classrooms, serving to improve campus facilities, trying tasty Dominican
dinners hosted by Doulos families, visiting a fair-trade coffee farm, sampling the outdoor adventures at Pico Escondito,
and worshiping in a local evangelical church. Help us build community within the Body of Christ across borders and
cultures and see the DR in a whole new way! Check out the Doulos Discovery School Video.
Note: Students are responsible for own meals while in airports and for souvenirs.
STEP Norway: Danielsen School Cost: $2000 – approximately 9-10 travel days Leader: Mr. Steve Kasiguran Number of students: 6-12 Open to students in grades: 9-12 Passport Required Norway is a beautiful country. Bergen, the second largest city, sits on the western coast and is considered the gateway to the fjords. A highlight of the trip is the “Norway in a Nutshell” tour by train, bus, and boat through the mountains and fjords. The Short Term Exchange Program (STEP) Norway provides the opportunity for home-to-home exchanges between students from Cuyahoga Valley Christian Academy and the Danielsen Videregaende School in Bergen, Norway. Students from both schools learn about the customs and culture of the exchange country. Our students experience first- hand the commonality of faith we enjoy in Christ, as we typically attend church and youth group services while we are in Bergen. They also develop a measure of independence as they learn how to deal with a different currency and with people whose native language is not English. Students interested in travel to Norway should also consider hosting a Norwegian student from Danielsen School in Bergen Norway, for approximately two weeks in the fall of 2017 (Homecoming week). Each CVCA student typically stays with the family of the Danielsen student they host in the fall. El Salvador - Love & Hope Children’s Home Cost: $1600 Leader: Mr. Dan Larlham Number of students: 8-15 Open to students in grades: 9-12 Passport Required Love and Hope Children’s Home, an orphanage in El Salvador, is operated by two CVCA alums, Justin (1998) and Rachel (2001) Klubnik. This is a life-changing opportunity to see and serve on the mission field as well as experience a culture different than ours. The people, specifically the kids at the home, are the biggest draw. While there, our students will serve a local homeless population, minister to a local downtrodden community, and help Love and Hope with any jobs needed. This trip affords the students of CVCA a chance to truly follow Jesus’ commands to Love God and Love Others. Note: Suggested spending money $100-$200 for souvenirs, snacks. Shya Designs Meets Arise Rwanda Cost: $2000 Leader: Mr. Ryan Crocker Number of students: 2-5 Open to students in grades: 11-12 Passport Required Students can expect to be transformed by the impact of visiting Rwanda. Experiencing the transformation of a country from ruin to a unified vision for economic growth through education, clean water and micro-business loans. This beautiful country is eager to learn, grow, and share their success with others. Our time will be spent with Arise Rwanda Ministries who is sharing the gospel and giving people dignity through education and empowerment. Note: Students responsible for snacks and souvenirs. Additionally, please check CDC website for applicable immunizations.
