Travel Programs

Developing a Global Mindset

Travel can be a powerful form of experiential learning and our travel programs at Holy Innocents’ Episcopal School offer students an opportunity to develop skills and attitudes essential to global citizenship. Led by experienced members of the HIES faculty and staff in consultation with established professional travel contractors, our programs also allow students to deepen their relationships with adults and with one another. Our hope is that students return to campus with a deeper appreciation for the human experience and a broadened worldview that prepares them for college and life beyond.
