Seeking Growth Challenges Through Language
All 8th graders participate in a week-long study trip with a language focus. Students studying French go to Quebec, those studying Spanish visit Costa Rica, and students studying Mandarin travel to Shanghai [due to Covid-19, the spring 2020 trip traveled to Iceland]. In addition to language immersion, 8th graders may engage in service projects and cultural art activities, participate in historical inquiries, and make friends with locals.
