Arts Trip to Barcelona April 2017 – Maggie Kessel Having had the wonderful opportunity to get to know and teach the Colegio Maya High Schoolers last year, I am so excited to introduce an annual High School Arts Trip to Europe for Colegio Maya. I have been taking High School students to Europe on an annual Arts Trip for the past 5 years, having visited England, France, Italy, Austria and Greece. This year my dream is to take interested students to Barcelona, Spain for one week during the April Break.

Students will be immersed in the art, history and culture of this phenomenal city for one week with an educationally tailored all-inclusive tour through World Strides Travel, filled with visits to art museums and theatres, historical sites, and cultural exchanges. The opportunity to learn experientially allows students to make authentic connections to their world in a way that supports them in retaining information, while growing deeply as individuals. Learning itself comes alive and becomes real.

These trips provide students a chance to broaden their world view and enrich their education. Educational travel provides a chance to embrace our world, and deepen our understanding of the ultimate interconnected nature of society and what is learned in the classroom.

Next week I will be hosting lunch time information sessions where a slideshow of my past trips, the itinerary for The Barcelona Art Trip, and list of costs for the trip will be shared.

Please feel free to stop in, Monday through Thursday 11:05 – 11:45. I hope to see you there!
