St Francis DeSales High School offers several travel experiences to its community. The four trips rotate so that each student has one opportunity to join a specific trip, or any number of trips, in that students career at St Francis DeSales. Our foreign tours are designed to bring different areas of study to life, giving students real-world opportunities to experience language, culture, history, art, music, and education around the globe. Students will be able to practice language skills in Spain, France, and Italy that have been studied in class. Students will have the chance to experience traditions and cultures of peoples around the world: eat local foods, visit historical sites, ride public transportation, navigate cities, and have a chance to immerse themselves in the wonderful learning opportunity known as travel.
