| Description |
Academic Treks division offers college-accredited summer adventures
abroad for high school students. The programs combine the finest
elements of experiential learning, traditional classroom learning and
service learning with wilderness adventure, international travel and
cultural exchange to create extraordinary expeditions.
On each
dynamic journey, students explore unique environments and cultures while
studying marine science or a foreign language or embarking on an
intensive community service adventure. Each course includes an important
community service component, and several include a significant emphasis
(up to 55 hours) on service work. Academic Treks students are fully
immersed in an educational experience in a real world setting, gaining a
global perspective and hands-on understanding of the topics studied.
They also get a head start on college by earning college and/or
community service credit and by building a host of skills they will use
both in school and beyond.
