Global Engagement at Pacific Ridge School

GLOBAL ENGAGEMENT

Where the world is the classroom

Being able to step away from my parents and journey halfway across the world – I learned that getting out of your comfort zone can produce really big rewards.

- Charlie O. ‘17

At Pacific Ridge, students begin to see themselves in relation to the world and discover what it means to be a part of a global community. In addition to learning about global issues in their daily studies, students partake in an extensive travel program at the end of each academic year.
