Students are supervised by adults the entire time they are at ASRA, including pick-up and drop off at the airport.

Students have the opportunity to take field trips, visit local businesses, sightsee, and attend events, but are always accompanied by an ASRA staff member.

Dorm rooms are segregated by gender and floor, and ASRA reserves an entire building for ASRA students and dorm staff (RAs). There is at least one RA for every 10 students living in the dorm. 

ASRA staff members undergo a background check, and are chosen as role models for students. They are a talented and enthusiastic group who enjoy being with bright young students. The director and instructors are often seen at the dorms helping with activities.
