Spotlight on
Academic Travel

TASIS pioneered the concept of Academic Travel in 1956, and our students have been exploring Europe ever since. At various points in November, our classrooms moved beyond the walls of the TASIS campus and spilled into Venice, Florence, Rome, Santa Margherita, Munich, Heidelberg, Baad, Zurich, Leysin, Bern, Lausanne, and Gstaad. With help from our student journalists, we offer a closer look at some of this month's trips.

Outward Bound in Austria

Outward Bound in Austria

10th-grade students trekked to a remote Alpine hut, abseiled from a bridge, scaled a climbing wall, and more over the course of five days in Baad. See how the annual Outward Bound trip helps TASIS students find their growth zone.

 
Swiss Adventure in Gstaad

Swiss Adventures in Gstaad

Throughout four days in beautiful Gstaad, Middle School students challenged themselves on hikes, high-ropes courses, and bridge swings; learned how to build igloos and snowshoes; and dined on traditional Swiss cuisine and chocolate. See video highlights from the trip. 

 
Cutting-Edge Science in Zurich
