| 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. |
