What are educational travel programs?
Educational travel programs at Blyth Academy are opportunities for students to travel to various destinations while participating in structured learning experiences. These programs combine academic study with hands-on activities and cultural immersion.
Who can participate in the educational travel programs?
Students in grades 10-12 can enrol in one of our educational travel programs. For our OSSD credit programs we will typically offer several courses at the grade 11 and 12 level. Students in grade 10 will have the opportunity to enrol in an upper level course assuming they meet all prerequisite requirements.
How will marks and report cards be shared with my “home” school?
The records and reporting structure of this program will be identical to a summer school course taken at one of our Academies. Report Cards will be sent to the student’s home school upon completion of the course.
What does a typical day look like?
Although the schedule will vary by day and location, days will largely follow the pattern of breakfast and dinner as a group with free time for lunch. Classes will take place for approximately half the day with organized activities for the remainder of the day. Students will have a strictly enforced curfew each night, students will be personally checked into their room by a staff member.
How can I be certain that all of the curriculum will be covered?
In order to be sure that all of the curriculum is covered and that students are able to fully experience the travel component of the program, virtual, synchronous classes will be held the week prior to departure.
How long do the trips typically last?
Our educational travel programs offered at Blyth Academy are between 3 and 4 weeks in the summer and 2 weeks in the spring.
What kind of destinations are included in the travel programs?
Destinations will vary each year based on demand and seasonality. In the past we have offered trips to Europe, South America and Asia.
Are there any academic benefits to participating in these programs?
Yes, on top of gaining an OSSD credit, students will enhance their understanding of the course material through experiences and immersions that can not be achieved in the classroom. Small classes of 10 students run by enthusiastic and well-traveled teachers contribute to the overall success of the course.
What activities are typically included in these trips?
Activities may include guided tours, museum visits, workshops, beach days, service-learning projects, and hands-on learning experiences related to the academic focus of the trip. In addition, each trip will typically offer optional excursions at an additonal fee.
Can students choose which trips to go on?
Students can select from a range of available trips based on their interests and academic goals. Information about upcoming trips will be provided in advance. You can reach out to our admissions team for more information.
