Travel experiences begin during the freshman year with local trips to cultural, scientific, geographic, and other points of interest. These trips might include museums, colleges and universities, technical and scientific institutes and installations, and area recreational facilities. During the sophomore year trips within the state are arranged, including the state capitol at Harrisburg, Gettysburg National Park, supervised retreats and visits to schools, colleges and universities as appropriate. During the junior year inter-state travel experiences may include Boston, MA, Washington, DC, special events, visits to points of educational significance, or other interests as appropriate. Options for supervised travel and study abroad are available by arrangement during the junior or senior year.
All travel is subject to parental permission, and supervised by qualified adult school staff.
Travel and study abroad are arranged through experienced agencies with proven records of satisfaction, safety and supervision. Information regarding all travel activity will be made available to students at the beginning of each school term, or as appropriate to the needs and requirements of the individual event.
