STCS Travel Program Info Night
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 we would love to have your student join us on this adventure.
We are hosting two info sessions to talk about our upcoming trips!

In this info session, we’ll talk about:
● How this opportunity will benefit your child
● What we’ll see and do on our trip
● Everything that’s included in this experience
● How your child can earn academic credit
● How we’ll be keeping the trip safe and affordable
● How to enroll on the trip (before it fills up!)
