Curricular Travel

Exploring major global issues requires a broader, interdisciplinary perspective. Ensuring our students have a global mindset is a priority for us; it’s crucial for developing deeper learning and promotes cultural awareness and competencies that will serve our students well beyond their educational careers.

By integrating travel into our academic courses, we are able to connect content to experience in real time. We are continuously looking for opportunities to open our classrooms to immersive experiences so that we can delve deeper and explore even further with our students.

Our teachers are committed to partnering with outside experts and organizations to create these learning experiences for Beaver students. We offer a range of opportunities for our students, from course-connected (classes they are taking), to co-curricular (clubs or groups they are members of), to intersession opportunities (open to larger groups over spring and summer breaks), our students have many options to travel to a wide range of locations.

During the 24-25 school year, Beaver will go to Cuba and Spain; in 25-26, students will travel to Quebec and China. In addition to these course-connected trips, we are excited to continue to add co-curricular opportunities for our students to travel and explore together outside of their classroom work. From traveling with the Hiatt Center, to sending the RoboSub club to its annual competition, to representing themselves and our school at conferences like the NAIS Civil Leadership Summit, we invest in the work our students are doing in and out of the classroom. For travel not tied to a specific class or program, we are also excited to offer intersession travel opportunities during spring and summer breaks.
