Travel with CAC

There is incredible value in learning new things, experiencing new places and talking to new people. Each year, CAC secondary students are given the opportunity to do all three of those things through school-sponsored spring break trips. Each train ride, guided tour, authentic dinner, piece of art, historic monument and new experience offer unique moments of growth, educational opportunities and memories that will last a lifetime.

“For me, learning different languages and how people live – I realized it’s not all about America and it’s not all about the way we live. There are so many different cultures all over the world.”

Spain

“The Spain trip was a really fun and cool way to experience a new culture. Our EF tour guide was fantastic and every day was a new adventure for our group. I enjoyed getting to witness and explore the food, art, entertainment, history, and architecture Spain has to offer. It was super fun going with my classmates and getting to experience things together. I will cherish the memories I made during the trip forever!”
