The Traveling School Recently Updated

The Traveling School’s academic schedule and themes are place-based and relevant to engage students in their surroundings.

Students are immersed in challenging topics and learn nuanced perspectives through their teachers, community members, guides and geographic settings. Although the academic schedule varies from day to day and week to week, The Traveling School carefully records academic hours for each class whether a seminar-style lecture, an interactive academic exploration or a cultural exchange. Traveling School courses focus on critical thinking and the ability to access, synthesize, evaluate and communicate information through various formats. Students are assessed through class discussion and participation, projects, presentations, homework, quizzes and tests. After the semester, each student and their sending school receive a traditional transcript accompanied with specific course details plus student-specific comments about growth, proficiency and achievements.

The Traveling School is accredited by the Accrediting Commission for Schools, Western Association of Schools and Colleges (ACS-WASC) as a Supplementary Education Program. Our transcripts and academic credits are accepted by public and private schools across the country.
