Week Without Walls
When planning these trips, we aim for curricular relevance, cultural exposure, challenging physical activities, and meaningful opportunities for service. In 2025, Middle School students, depending on their grade level, spent a week engaged in activities across Lebanon, in Jordan, or in Sri Lanka. High School students chose between travel and community service experiences within Lebanon or in South Africa, Japan, Bali, or Nepal. This special week forges strong connections among students and teachers and creates memories to treasure. Friendships are strengthened, self-confidence grows, and compassion and understanding for others are deepened.
In Thailand, we learned about the lifestyle of Buddhist people and helped a less fortunate school. This taught me about being grateful, open-minded, and cherishing every moment in life. "

Sri Lanka taught me that happiness consists of three things: a rainforest, fresh air, and authentic connections. "
