GLOBAL STUDIES

Our Global Studies program is unique because it goes beyond simply traveling to a new country. We immerse ourselves in the local culture in a humble and responsible manner—we travel and eat as the locals do, learn from the communities hosting us, and seek to understand and connect with different cultures, beliefs, and traditions.

For nearly four weeks in the spring, students travel to various countries worldwide, discovering new cultures, meeting new people, and most importantly, learning about themselves. Each trip incorporates adventure, cultural immersion, and service learning. Recent destinations include Cambodia, Bolivia, Senegal, Morocco, Nepal, and Ecuador. These trips aim to push students out of their comfort zones, build their self-reliance and independence, and foster compassion by learning how to give back to their communities and the world.
