'The Ambrose School's Senior Class of 2027 is embarking on an exciting class trip to Rome, Florence, and London, where faith, history, art, and culture come alive.&nbsp; Traveling to the places that students have studied in their curriculum brings their education to life in transformative ways. Standing in locations rich with historical, cultural, or biblical significance allows students to connect deeply with the lessons they’ve learned, fostering a greater understanding and appreciation of the world and their studies. Teachers skillfully tie together the events and places, offering insights that help students apply these experiences to their own lives and personal growth. As they explore these meaningful destinations together, students form lasting bonds through shared discovery, reflection, and adventure—creating not only cherished memories but also a stronger sense of community and connection. We will have planned places of connection with the student's parents so that we create shared memories across three of Europe’s most captivating cities.
