Only in MS. Not in US.

For the whole school or is it one of the options? When does it happen?

Immanuel Christian School has a travel term for 9th-12th.

Proper taxes* typo

It's important for the kids if oligarchs to go to Europe and witness how safe and clean a society can be when rich people pay their property taxes in a non exploitive tax rate as well as how safe and civilized a society can be when their parents are not profiteering and privatizing (thus degrading) industries such as healthcare and education.

Most Americans can afford travel and due to stunted education levels and starvation slave wages-have no motivation to.

Dominion Christian starts travel in 7th with an overnight in Philly, and then progresses to a weeklong trip to Britain every other year for upperclassmen. Off year is a service project in WV.

Christ Episcopal School 8th graders go to Spain

Rochambeau 5th graders go to Paris for 1.5 weeks.
9th graders go to Marseilles.

WIS has immersion travel programs

Anonymous wrote:Out of curiosity, do any schools offer travel programs as part of their curriculum? Like a semester abroad or a spring break program. I’m assuming this would only be high school, but curious about MS as well (especially if it’s a K-12 or 6-12).

Barrie School has expedition weeks in both the fall and the spring for grades 6-12 that go from local day trips for the week (typically MS grades) all the way up to going to Iceland/Mexico/etc. (older grades).

Stone Ridge has a ton of options for study abroad, but most are over spring break or summer and are not included in tuition. Some are service trips or tied to a particular field of study (e.g., AP art students went to Japan last year). They also have the Sacred Heart Exchange program where you go and live with another family and attend school at a sister Sacred Heart. I'm not sure what the financial arrangement looks like for the SH Exchange program, but DD's friend went abroad and then hosted a girl and it sounded fantastic.

WES is Utah for 6th grade, Italy for 7th, and Spain or France for 8th, depending on which language the student studies. It’s included in the tuition and done on scheduled school days (that is, not over a school break) so all the students go.

It’s definitely a highlight of the middle school experience.

Name of school? Please help the class with info.

There are independent programs that private schools will sometimes allow you to do.

Mountain School and Swiss Semester come to mind as semester programs in high school.

WES is known for its middle school trips, which are included in tuition.

OP, when you say “as part of their curriculum,” do you mean actually integrated into the course of study, included in tuition?

Very few will have that. Many/most will have travel opportunities with or without a service component that are entirely optional and unrelated to curriculum. And cost extra (often significantly extra).
