Service travel
Service Learning Trips
Students have many opportunities to travel abroad on chaperoned service learning trips. During these 1-2 week immersive projects, students travel to a new country, engage with the local culture through their service project and explore the country. Students are selected through an application process.
The service learning trip for May 2016 took place in Romania, where 13 students took on dual projects of tending fields and participating in activities with school children.
Tartans Without Borders
Tartans Without Borders provides students an opportunity to create their own service trip. Student leaders select their team, plan projects, organize pre-trip orientation sessions and lead the group throughout the experience.
In May 2016, eight students travelled to Sri Lanka for 15 days to work at an orphanage for disabled children, and then paint a temple on the school grounds.
