Latin America

The Latin America Trip occurs every other year and is an exciting program for juniors and seniors wanting a Spanish language immersion experience. The group, along with staff, travels to a Latin American country for four weeks and studies the language and culture of the country by living and working among the people. Students stay with host families and work together towards a common community service project. Academic credit is earned for this activity, and the community service fulfills the service project graduation requirement. Students also gain skills and insight into interacting with another culture. Recent trips have included building a health center in Costa Rica, working at an orphanage in Mexico City, helping with reforestation in Nicaragua.
