TIS students reap more than educational benefits when they travel abroad on educational trips. In addition to enhancing learning opportunities, international travel can also expand students' personal horizons, develop independence, and provide invaluable experiences outside of the classroom.
TIS Vice Principal Howard Stribbell believes school trips provide students with a global perspective and a greater understanding of social reponsibility. "Through service projects, students learn empathy and how to give back to people who are less fortunate."
So far this academic year, TIS students have travelled to Hong Kong, Nanjing, Guilin, Vietnam and Thailand. Next year, the school plans to introduce "Experience Week," in which the entire week from March 16-20 will be dedicated to a variety of off-campus experiences for students in grades 6-12. More information about Experience Week will be distributed early in the next school year
