trip week

 
Trip Week takes place every September and is a valuable opportunity for high school students to get out and explore the broader European environment.

Grades Nine and Ten will alternate visits between Berlin, Germany, and Normandy, France. Berlin is the destination for 2011. World History is an important part of their Social Studies class and Berlin is a rich source of historical reference, having been at the epicenter of two world wars and the subsequent cold war era. Students also have time to visit various artistic and cultural sites during this excursion.

Students in Grade Eleven head to London, England. They begin their five day experience with a ferry ride across the English channel and then a train into London.

The Globe Theatre and other important parts of the life and writings of William Shakespeare form the core of this excursion. Additionally, the London trip offers opportunities for students to explore the various world class science, cultural and historic museums London offers.

Our Twelfth Grade students have planned and organized their own trip. Under supervision of the school's trip coordinator they choose a destination and topics to study. The Seniors this year are going to Nice, France.
