Getting started is easy. Here’s how:
Step 1: Register Your School
Go to Browse our programs page and select the program and start date you want. Once you’ve done this, we’ll mail you a teacher package that includes brochures, posters and everything else you need.
Step 2: Recruit Students
You can start by meeting with students to generate excitement, distribute brochures and put up posters in key locations at school. You'll also want to meet with parents. Everything you need will be in your teacher package. At the meetings, we encourage you to have online access to show parents testimonials from students and teachers. If that’s not possible, invite students and parents to view these when they get home. Also, students who have already attended Close Up give great testimonials. Feel free to ask an alumnus to come speak!
Step 3: Enroll Students
This is easy. Just two steps: 1) login to the school account at School Login and enter each participant’s name. After each name is entered, print the instruction page and give it to that student. These instructions include the Participant ID number and directions on how to complete the enrollment form; then 2) ask students to take the instructions home and complete the enrollment form with a parent or guardian.
Step 4: Make Payment
The last step is to make the required deposits (submit payment) and final payment. This can be done a variety of ways, depending upon your needs. Some schools pay by purchase order, others have individual students pay via e-check, credit card, debit card or regular check with mail-in coupon.
Step 5: Confirm Travel and Hotel
Simply log into your account 40 days (for travel) and 30 days (for hotel) before your program’s start date.
