Parent Testimonials
“Everything was well organised and communicated. Flynn had a ball and had his eyes opened to very many new experiences. He benefited greatly from the immersing experience and made new friendships.”
“It is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to have some incredible experiences and behind-the-scenes access to various activities and places, particularly in Huntsville.”
“We can’t thank the whole team of Actura enough for the way you treated our daughter like she was your own. Your professionalism with timely communications, all logistics and ensuring our daughter’s experience was nothing short of amazing was beyond anything we or she could have ever imagined.”
“My daughter had a wonderful time last December. It was certainly worth the money we spent. So much more than we expected. She found the group leaders and event instructors caring and helpful. Whole program very exciting and fun. She could not stop talking about it for weeks afterwards. It was nice to see their daily progress on photos and videos via Actura as well. Highly recommend it!”
“My daughter came home with many stories to tell and is still telling them. This trip exceeded my expectations as I was slightly concerned how she would cope being so far away from home and for such a long time, but she loved every minute of it and it has definitely shaped her motivation for what she would like to do in the future with her studies! Other than the obvious learning aspect she has also learnt resilience and independence, made new friends (whom she is continuing to keep in touch with) and a sense of confidence that she did not have prior to the trip.”
“My son loved the experience and is looking forward to attending the senior program as well. Has has also inspired my daughter to go, so hopefully this amazing experience is available to her when she’s old enough as well.”
“Venice rated the experience 10/10 and her description of the different activities she was involved in sounded very rewarding for someone of her age both from a STEM perspective but also having the confidence to participate in such a program at a relatively young age.”
“Thank you to Amy for fielding all our queries and request. Thanks to the two AMAZING group leaders who took the boys on every step of their journey. I would certainly recommend you (and have already) to anyone seeking to send their child on a quest for new learning experiences and one which promotes independence of thought. Well done to all concerned and thank-you!”
“I appreciated how thorough the organisation of the expedition was and the excellent communication with parents throughout the whole experience.”
“Zali made new friends, learnt new skills and overall thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Very well organised, Zali loved all the activities and meeting new people. The accommodation was excellent and guest speaker were inspirational.”
Student Testimonials
“At CASE Space School I have learned, experienced and encountered so many new and exciting things that I would never have been able to otherwise. At Space School, we learned a variety of space-related STEAM projects, team & leadership exercises, physical and mental training, as well as learning to develop healthy habits that will be extremely important in all aspects of our life. My group managers, accompanying teachers, fellow peers, crew trainers, and team in general have all been a joy to work with these past two weeks. Space School has truly been an out-of-this-world experience for me.”
“CASE Space School. WOW. Was such a blast traveling with friends to a foreign country, we goofed around but was super serious when it came to important stuff. At houston, we talked about the 7 habits of leadership as well as attended the NBA game, shopping, and astronaut dinner. In Huntsville, we learnt about rockets and flight as well as playing games and doing excellent simulations of space missions. Huge shoutout to all teachers, GMs and crew trainers.”
“Overall my experience of space school was good. Houston was definitely my favourite portion of the trip. Greg and Alicia, I love our group managers. They were amazing. I learnt many new things that interest me even when I am not the most interested by certain space things usually. This trip helped me make and grow connections with the other people here.”
“This experience has been life changing for me. It helped me to realise my goals and guided me by giving me the knowledge and support to allow me to take those steps so I can achieve my goals… It gave me an incredible learning experience to learn outside the classroom and develop practical skills, Not only did I feel very welcomed and an accepted part of both my groups but I also made new friends who i will continue to stay in touch with when the trip ends.”
“From the beginning to the end, there were fun activities, amazing people and supportive elders. All of the experiences made you realize how lucky we are to be on this trip. Some of these opportunities are once in a life time and you must take these opportunities with both hands and try your hardest. I have learned never to give up on your dreams and must work hard no matter what others say. Anything is possible no matter how hard your dream may be. We may think we have it all but then there is always more to learn.”
“The 2 weeks here has changed me so much in a positive way, like the fact that I gained new knowledge, made new friends, and was taught about the 7 habits on how to improve myself as a person. All activities were very entertaining and fun, and the accom and food were amazing as well. I especially enjoyed learning the details of space missions in a fun way, and the possibility to be an astronaut or work for a space center has opened. This trip was very inspiring and I hope to come back sometime. It made me so much more interested in Space.”
“CASE is a very unique and special experience that will forever be engraved in my memories. The activities we did, the friends we made, and most of all, the fun we had. This trip also gave me an opportunity to learn about space and other fields in an environment that could be had anywhere else. Due to this, I was glad the opportunity to explore around the US, which is something that my parents generally would not consider. In conclusion, I would like to thank everyone along the way, my friends, staff and all those who helped and encouraged me along the way.”
“My experience at CASE Space School was amazing and far exceeded my expectations. The learning experiences and knowledge gained are really interesting. The cultural American Experiences were also super fun. I loved all the interactive activities like cell lab, astronaut training and more. I also met so many new people and made amazing friends. I would recommend this to anyone. Best trip ever.”
“My experience was amazing. I got to learn so much about space and rockets, and get to see them in person. I also learned how to work as a team. I also got to learn about the 7 habits and allowed me to prepare for the future. Also, there were many fun simulators that is highly recommended.”
“The CASE Space School was really fun, spending so long away with my friends doing various activities was really enjoyable. I learnt so much on this trip and I met so many new people. My group managers, teachers and crew trainers helped me so much and made sure we were having a good time but also learning a lot. Although so many people got sick including myself, it was one of the most memorable experiences in my life and I miss everyone immensely.”
