Travelers to Turkey report back to classmates and families at this week’s End Session presentations.

Since 2007 and the inception of our travel programs, VIMSIA students have traveled to over 55 countries. Each year students have the opportunity to travel through one of our many VIMSIA Without Borders programs, including: End Session, MMUN, Weizmann Science and Middle East Cultural Trek, and the Spanish Student Exchange Program. End Session is a unique adventure in learning created specifically for our PGIA students. We have been 50 degrees North, 40 degrees South, 100 feet underwater and points in-between to provide global learning opportunities!

For the past 3-6 weeks, PGIA students have participated in a range of programs that brought them everywhere from Turkey, Spain, and Washington D.C., to exploring the natural treasures and cutting edge technology on island, here in their own backyard.
