Travel will always be a keystone in AGS. Each year every grade level embarks on a learning excursion that relates to what they've been studying or a project they've been working on. Every other year is meant to be an international trip, which is only right since this is the Academy for Global Studies. The trips range from living in a simulation in Arkansas, to walking along the Great Wall of China. The learning in AGS is never confined to just a four-walled room, but rather the entire globe is. How can a student truly grasp the subject they're learning about without physically experiencing it. Travel in AGS isn't just a vacation either. With the trips comes school assignments and service work. The assignments can range from socratic seminars to travel journals, to scavenger hunts. None of the work is meant to be tedious, but to get the students thinking as globally aware, and intelligent citizens. There's a difference between touristing and traveling to learn and expand your horizons. AGS happens to accomplish exactly that- expand your horizons.
