Dear families,
Your student is invited to join us on our 2024 educational travel experience to Puerto Rico!
When students travel, they expand their knowledge of the world around them, discover more about themselves, and grow more confident. These skills are critical for creating the global citizens of tomorrow, and I would love to have your student join me on this next adventure.
Come hear all the details, including the itinerary, activities, academic opportunities, and flexible payment options at our upcoming info session.

See you soon,
Profe Theresa Marriott
