But don’t take our word for it. Read what Nashville’s Harpeth Hall School’s Winterim Director had to say about her school’s recent 3-week program in Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands:

“Global Experiences worked closely with us every step of the way to create a singular program for Harpeth Hall that combined language study, ecology and bio-diversity study, and community service. The trip definitely stretched the cultural and intellectual boundaries of our students. Each of them came home with a broadened sense of her world.”

Our programs are offered year-round and include accommodation, ground transportation, most meals, language and culture classes, faculty/chaperone discounts, accident and illness insurance, access to discounted group airfare, and the 24 hour support of an in-country coordinator.
