Global Experiences

Student Travel Opportunities

CCS junior/senior high students have a wonderful variety of travel opportunities—both domestic and international. Some of these trips are annual, and some are every couple of years. Some are mission trips, some are educational trips, and some are just for fun!

Global Experiences Mission

To raise awareness of the world outside of CCS and to help students understand and begin to find a place in that world.

Potential Travel Opportunities

• Washington D.C.—Annual 8th-grade class trip. Travelers may receive high school credit or college credits for their experiences through WorldStrides.
• Project Mañana—Annual mission trip to our sister school (Colegio Evangélico Aclamamos Por Su Sabiduría – We Praise Your Wisdom Christian School) located in San Pablo, Villa González, Dominican Republic. Open to all CCS students in 9th through 12th grades, staff, and parents. In the case of a summer trip, students must have completed at least 9th grade.

In the case of a summer trip, students must have completed at least 9th grade. Past countries visited include France, Switzerland, Ireland, Italy, and Germany. Students participating in Global Experiences may have the opportunity to receive a semester of credit in a variety of subject areas, depending upon the trip.
