Ever year, 8th grade students are invited to take a 7-day 6-night trip with their History Department peers for the East Coast Colonial History Tour.
Students visit cities such as Boston, New York, Philadelphia, and Washington D.C. to name a few, following the promotion of their 8th grade year.
The tour is run by the World Expeditions educational travel service, with CPMA teachers as the chaperones. There is at least one adult for each 9 students.
The trip is intended as a 'Rite of Passage' for students. Unfortunately we cannot accommodate parents, not even as chaperones.
