school. Keeping in mind that it is sometimes difficult to contact families who live overseas, the Academy utilizes tools such as Global Priority Mail and faxes to insure that our international families receive information in a timely manner. To help facilitate communication, the Academy also urges these families to keep in contact with their student’s advisor via e-mail over the course of the school year and to supply the school with up-to-date e-mail addresses. TOEFL Testing: The Academy organizes testing for all international students as required for college applications. Transportation to and from Airports: The procedures for planning vacation travel involve the same principles as weekends. In an effort to facilitate vacation plans for our boarding students, Kimball Union provides transportation for a fee on specified dates to Dartmouth Coach (Lebanon), Lebanon Airport,Vermont Transit (White River Junction,Vermont), and Amtrak (White River Junction,Vermont). Please make arrangements with the Student Life Office a few days in advance so that transportation arrangements may be made with the Academy’s Facilities and Operations Department. Planning early and involving the school as early as possible will make travel plans easier and help to avoid conflicts scheduling. New international students will be met at Boston’s Logan Airport for orientation and should plan to arrive as directed by the Director of International Programs. Weekends: Procedures for international students to go on weekends are the same as for other students. Parents overseas should be aware that their children need to make arrangements with hosts for long weekends and all vacations.
