Off-Campus Programs

During the 2021-22 academic year, all international off-campus programs are suspended due to COVID-19. Three Community Engagement Programs will run the first week of March Break — one in-person and two virtual.

St. Paul’s School believes that a student’s education extends beyond the classroom and that a change in physical environment necessarily enriches perspective. Our educational philosophy embraces diversity and endorses the principle that as individuals we learn when we broaden our own beliefs, values, and customs and seek out the wisdom and experience of others. To foster these values, we encourage our students to pursue an authentic understanding of a culture different from their own and to engage this new culture with an open mind.

Off-Campus Programs provide a variety of experiences – from a year immersed in the culture and language of another country – to a week spent working on a service-learning project in a different region of the United States. Programs are designed to accommodate student schedules, interests, and a sense of adventure that translates into the challenge and triumph that comes from stepping into something new. Explore!
