Andrew studies at King's Edgehill College in Nova Scotia, the oldest private school in Canada, which also provides cadet training. Sarah is a gymnast studying at the National Circus School--École nationale du cirque in Montreal, a training ground for performers with the prestigious Cirque du Soleil. For a week, each youth will experience a radically different approach to teaching and learning, and Andrew will realize that there is more than clowning involved in being a circus performer.
