Experiential Learning Through Travel

Travel the World with St. Andrew's!

At St. Andrew’s, we believe in fostering a global perspective that transcends textbooks and classroom walls. We see the world as our classroom and travel as an invaluable tool for experiential learning and personal growth. 

Our travel programs are designed to:

Cultivate Empathy and Understanding
Travel immerses students in the lives, stories, and histories of diverse cultures and communities. This fosters empathy, broadens their worldview, and challenges them to see the world through different lenses.

Active Learning and Research
Beyond the traditional classroom setting, travel allows students to actively participate in research projects, engage in hands-on learning experiences, and apply their knowledge in real-world contexts.

Building Autonomy and Self-Growth
Travel presents opportunities for students to navigate unfamiliar situations, develop problem-solving skills, and build resilience. With the support of experienced teachers and chaperones, they learn to overcome challenges and grow independently.

Commitment to Excellence in Experiential Education
St. Andrew's School is a member of the leading Global Education Benchmark Group (GEBG), ensuring that our travel programs meet the highest global education standards and foster global perspectives, issues, and competencies in our students. We further adhere to the rigorous Standards of the Forum on Education Abroad, prioritizing student safety, learning, and responsible engagement with host communities.
