Foreign Travel
The Foreign Travel Program is a highlight of the Whiteman educational experience. Foreign Trips provide a balance of cultural, historic, artistic and recreational opportunities. Through foreign travel students gain a deep understanding and appreciation of varied cultures, religions, customs and politics. Itineraries include archeological, natural and architectural sites of importance, cultural events, home stays, community service and physical challenge.
Activities of educational substance are integrated into the program. Each foreign trip group meets weekly, for several months, in preparation for travel. Students learn about the places they will visit and play an important role in planning the details. Each student is expected to research topics of interest, read and discuss background materials, and contribute to the richness of the group experience.
