Hi Terra - Some parents do accompany their students to and from the Intensive and some students travel solo. Some parents travel with their student on the way in and they fly home on their own. If you're not able to come with your child, airport transport is not included with the program fees, but there are two options to consider to ease any transportation concerns. 1) Students can connect with other Summer Intensive classmates via the My Class tab on their portal or by posting in the Summer Intensive Channel here on IAMT Community and perhaps coordinate flight plans - if several students are arriving at the same airport within a certain amount of time, they may be able to meet up and travel together to the dorms in a group. 2) If you prefer more supervision, we can offer an IAMT Travel Chaperone (one of our college age full time students/alumni) who can meet your child at the airport and get them in an Uber to the dorms, where they will be met by our staff and RAs on move in day. There is a small additional fee for this service. Please reach out to admissions@iamt-nyc.com for more details if you're interested.
Thank you! That is helpful information and gives us good guidance of where to go next.
