Each year—this year on Monday, October 10, 2011—there is a meeting in the Commons for Upper School students interested in International Trips. We offer three or four such trips, with regular destinations of China and Taiwan, El Salvador, France, and Spain, and then occasional trips heading to places such as Cambodia and Cuba. All trips run for two or three weeks, and enroll between 20 and 30 students, primarily in grades 11 and 12.

Each year, roughly 20% of the Upper School—in three or four groups of about 20 students and several faculty members—departs Northwest for two to three weeks of intense experiences overseas. These trips offer opportunities to experience other cultures, to be immersed in other languages, to exit familiar comfort zones, to embrace a new and challenging status as “outsiders.” They form a key part of our work to nurture global perspective.
