Daily class room discussion of myths and fears surrounding blindness, along with exploration of real-life encounters, help students to see blindness as a mere nuisance, rather than a tragedy. The warm, supportive environment give opportunity for fun, laughter, and a new outlook on life. Students from across the country and around the world share ideas with the staff to make this program ever expanding and dynamic. Come to this small community with an international flair and find a new future.
