Historically, the Upper School’s Winterim program sends three trips abroad annually.  Each experience either pursues an in-depth cultural and historical study of a country or a community-service project (in collaboration with a non-governmental organization). In the past five years students have visited and worked in a variety of countries:

• China - students studies at our sister school, lived with host families, and toured Beijing and Xi'an
• Ethiopia - students served as teachers at schools run by Project Mercy and Share Our Strength
• Mexico - students helped provide vocational training for women with El Puente de Esperanza (Bridge of Hope)
• Thailand - students lived with Thai families while teaching Thai students in collaboration with the US Peace Corps
• Bahamas - students studied marine biology
• Cultural education trips have also gone to Greece, Mexico, France, Russia, Turkey, and Spain
• Students annually do independent studies abroad including Honduras and China
