Our Global Passport Program goes beyond the neighborhood, opening doors to new cultures, experiences, and adventures. Last month, we took our first international trip to Panama, where students explored lush rainforests, vibrant cities, and rich cultural traditions. This trip allowed young travelers to connect with a world beyond their own and experience Panama’s unique cultural heritage firsthand. It also marked an exciting milestone, opening the door to a truly global experience for our youth.
