|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Rationale:
Seeking the Board of Education’s approval to travel to Italy in late June of 2021. Our ten-day trip always results in rewarding and memorable cultural experiences for students. Participating in an educational travel program holds a variety of benefits for our students. As part of their curriculum, students academically explore Italy. The trip adds new dimensions to students’ formal curriculum, expanding their views of the world and their perspectives of themselves and their own culture. Direct exposure to a foreign culture enhances months of classroom study. Students will develop a stronger appreciation and interest in ancient history, literature, and the arts. Participation in an educational travel program can also improve a student’s chances for college admission.
