Why?... For Education... For Fun... For The Experience!
WHY TRAVEL WITH US?1. International travel opens up a whole new world of culture outside of the typical American way. Different foods, different languages, different routines of "normal" can be explored first hand. Plus, student travelers enjoy a bit of "structured independence" as they learn to handle spending, explore cities, and to make good choices yet in the care of group and tour leaders.
2. WHY do this rather than a family trip to Europe? These tours are designed to be educational in nature and move at a fast pace. Trips are chosen to directly benefit SCHS students in IB and Advanced Placement classes by addressing and enhancing course content needed to complete the AP and IB program. The optional program WE SHARE is one avenue helping to do just that by giving students the opportunity to devise a hypothesis, research, and publish their findings. These skills are directly related to Science and Psychology classes as well as extended essays. More info to come on We Share in the fall. 3. Receive college credit-small additional fee required. Plus, international travel is a great addition to a college resume. Not to mention, international travel is something to discuss at an entrance interview! This can really set a person apart from the competition. 4. CAS Hours - CAS hours can be earned on these trips! With the WE SHARE program and a collaboration with Mrs. Murray and Mrs, Cappiello (the two teachers in charge of CAS hours) you can earn quite a few hours towards your IB diploma. 5. If studying in an Advanced Placement or IB program, travelers get a chance to put some of that knowledge to use whether it's historical knowledge, language, or just being a risk taker and seeing new things! While a traveler's specific second language may not be a used in the countries visited, many previous travelers noticed a similarity to many words and put that root knowledge to work. *as an International student, international travel is recommended. 6. The monthly payment plan and length of payment period makes this trip affordable. Trips generally include* airfare, lodging, bus travel, metro travel, breakfast and dinners. Travelers cover their own lunches and tips. See travel website for list of included items. If you have further questions or comments, please email! |
"AMAZING and eye opening! Want to go back as soon as possible. I like how (the tour) gave us a chance to try new food. It was a great experience!"
-Morgan C. Class of 2013 "(the trip) made everything in class more real. It's one thing to read it in a book, but I was actually seeing it for real.
Becca C. Class of 2014 "Usually in class when the teacher asks if we've been somewhere, I put my head down. Now, I realized that when the teacher asked who has been to Paris, I got to raise my hand." Katelyn K Class of 2014 |
