Upper School Study Abroad

The Experiment in International Living (lovingly referred to as EIL) has empowered young people for over 90 years to experience the world, and develop the skills they need to be global citizens.

The Experiment’s educational approach is immersive, experiential, and student-centered. They believe in fostering young people’s natural curiosity and sense of adventure and preparing them to explore, value, and understand different perspectives. The EIL learning model is a rich process through which knowledge is cultivated not simply from experiences but also by reflecting on those experiences and extracting lessons learned. The Experiment’s group leaders are trained to facilitate this reflective learning process throughout our programs.

NOLS is a nonprofit global wilderness school. Set in beautiful remote wilderness areas NOLS training helps students discover their full potential. 

A NOLS course is an immersive expedition where you will spend time exploring remote, wild places with a tight-knit community of students and instructors. Find adventure and perspective. Develop lifelong leadership skills as you dive into our time-tested curriculum. Build courage and competence under the guidance of the best instructors in the industry.
