At Explorations Academy, it is our mission to help all students discover the potential that lies within themselves and the beauty, diversity, and opportunities that fill our world. These goals are achieved through our international expeditions.
These trips are not vacations. Each is a unique collection of intentionally designed challenges, curriculum, and experiences focused on expanding students’ perceptions of the world and of themselves.
They are month-long journeys that blend together relevant and meaningful academics and immersive cultural experiences. These trips are facilitated by capable staff who consistently invite students to reflect on the wonder of their experiences, their privileges, and the interconnectedness of human beings across the globe.
International study and service expeditions further underscore our belief that global citizenship is a central part of a 21st Century education.
Our students gain first-hand experience with other cultures, faiths, and world-views, not just as travelers but also as volunteer participants in the society they are visiting, often building lasting friendships with those met abroad. They gain in character as well as intellect, building flexibility, resilience, compassion, creativity, and maturity.
Some destinations Explorations Academy students and faculty have studied include India, Peru, Nicaragua, Colombia, Indonesia, Kenya, Ireland, Thailand, Cuba, Vietnam, and Guatemala.

International Students
Explorations Academy is committed to a truly global education. Thus, in addition, to bringing students to all corners of the world, we also invite the world to us. Explorations Academy has hosted students from Colombia, the Czech Republic, Germany, China, Indonesia, and several other countries from around the world. We are approved to facilitate the acquisition of F-1 visas. We are frequently able to assist in setting up host families, and we are happy to discuss the unique ways that an EA education is particularly invaluable with all interested parties from around the world.
In addition, we are able to provide an array of support services to ensure that all international students find success while attending Explorations Academy. Please feel free to email Jennifer if you have any questions.
