Pyle parent. We don't actually know anyone who went. They are really small.

I agree. We did one trip knowing the math doesn't compare to the value we could have had with a family trip. But we knew going in that it would just be a one-off: we wanted DC to develop some independence in travel that they wouldn't get in a sleepaway camp. But, the schedules on these trips (as on all package tours, I think) are so packed that the kids get incredibly tired. It worked out for summer only b/c we didn't book other summer activities immediately after the trip. I can't imagine doing group int'l travel for spring break -- too tiring w/o adequate time to recover before school. But, having said that, my DC thoroughly enjoyed the travel opportunity, being on their own (w/o parents, but some chaperones for security assurances), and exploring a new city with kids their own ages. I did the same as a high schooler, and it was great fun. But, definitely not necessary.

Don't know about Pyle, but at TPMS there are trips this year to Spain and Viet Nam. Maybe there are more but I've only gotten emails about those two.

Because schools are closed on the weekend.

Pyle parent here: this summer, there is one group going to France and Spain, and another group going to Italy (only 8th graders and up). In the spring, one group is going to Tokyo. Call the office to get connected to the relevant teachers to get on the list.

Finally. Thank you!!
