Student Road Trips

student trip During Thanksgiving vacation, February vacation and April vacation, Washington Academy offers students some exciting and educational trips at affordable prices. (Trips range from $200 to $900 per person, depending on length of trip and itinerary.) These trips are fully chaperoned, with at least 1 adult per 10 students. Students travel in comfortable buses and stay in nice hotels (typically featuring indoor heated pools.)

Boston: The trip to Boston starts with a walk along the freedom trail so students can experience historic sites from the American Revolution. Favorite stops include the New England Aquarium, the Museum of Science or the MFA (Museum of Fine Arts.) We also try to visit colleges and Universities such as Harvard, MIT and UMass.

Sugarloaf, USA: If you don't know how to ski or snowboard, the professionals at Sugarloaf will teach you. This mountain has spectacular views, fresh air, and even a mountainside restaurant. This is a very popular trip!

New York: Times Square is amazing. The museums are astounding. This trip even features a show at the Met or on Broadway. We also visit Ellis Island, the Statue of Liberty and the site of the 9/11 tragedy.

Bar Harbor: Close by, and one of our students' favorite trips. We walk along Acadia National Park's famous Sand Beach, see the views from Cadillac Mountain, watch the boats from Bar Harbor's busy pier, and much more. Students and their chaperones rent bicycles to explore the trails that surround Bar Harbor. The trip also features a tour of Jackson Laboratories, a world leader in genetic research.

Washington, D.C: Recent trips have included visits to the Capitol Building, the White House, the Lincoln, Washington and Jefferson Memorials, Arlington National Cemetery, the Vietnam Memorial and the Smithsonian Museum.
