Academic Trips

One big takeaway from this experience, other than that Spanish is really epic, is that sometimes, these trips are really about the life lessons, the new experiences, and stepping out of your shell. I personally felt like my faith and trust in God was strengthened. Every time I did something new and foreign to me that arrow prayer for aid and peace helped me stay grounded. I even enjoyed surfing and wiping out 9 times out of 10.

Learning extends beyond the classroom when engaging firsthand with the richness of a painting previously discussed, sketching and photographing discoveries in unfamiliar locations, performing for new audiences, reading Latin inscriptions on nearby architecture, or physically standing on stones laid in a historically significant courtyard.
 
These experiences become cherished memories, formed while traveling with classmates and teachers, sharing moments, and building bonds that strengthen friendships.
 
Upper School language immersion, arts, and mission trips are scheduled annually or on a rotating schedule. See an estimated schedule for all of our Upper School trips.
