How we began...
About 10 years ago, a group of Valencia High School teachers decided to see if students and their families might be interested in taking their learning to a whole new level by exploring the world together. What started with about 30 students exploring Costa Rica, has grown to about 150 students on two international trips per year. Since 2013, students have been adventuring through the Galapagos Islands, Ecuador, Japan, Scotland, Ireland, England, Wales, Thailand, Germany, Switzerland, the Czech Republic, Italy, Greece, Australia, New Zealand, and many more countries!
