GENERAL LAS encourages students to seek advance

assignments from their teachers prior to departure.

Students may not use any medication unless prescribed by a licensed medical physician. All medication must be identified before departure and will be carried by a chaperone.

Lahore American School, the tour operator and the chaperones have done their best to determine the cost of the trip. If, however, there are unexpected additional expenses that are required to ensure the safety and relative comfort of the students, that cost will be shared equally by the student travelers.

 Any emergency legal or medical expenses will be paid from emergency funds carried by the chaperones and reimbursed by the parents of the affected student upon his or her return to LAS.
