Travel Education
Throughout the school’s history, Long Trail has found value in travel as a core educational experience. As an International Baccalaureate school, LTS prides itself on expanding our students’ experiences beyond the walls of a classroom. Through travel, students learn about other cultures and languages, uncover rich history, and connect amazing personal experiences to their own growth. Moreover, our students become independent, curious, and confident explorers who are willing to tackle and embrace new situations and opportunities at home and abroad.
Long Trail’s tradition of travel began in its very first years. The entire school[six teachers and thirty students] traveled together at the end of the year to Cape Cod or Montreal to reflect on and celebrate the year. We are thrilled to broaden and expand programmatic travel through our grade-level trips. This is an exciting time as LTS is augmenting the number of optional travel opportunities being offered.
Through their years at Long Trail, students will be presented with many chances to use travel as an extension of their education. Our programming is designed to meet the needs of students in ways that are educationally relevant and developmentally appropriate.
