COST
All DCPS Study Abroad trips are fully-funded, including  airfare, meals, lodging, and activities on tour.  Aid for students with significant financial need who require support to obtain necessary travel supplies is available upon request.

TRIP REQUIREMENTS
All travelers must obtain necessary vaccines prior to trip departure, including the COVID-19 vaccine.  Every student traveler is required to participate in pre-departure trainings with their trip leaders, abide by their trip's itinerary, and develop a post-travel "Making Global Local" project about their time abroad. Each student's Making Global Local project will be shared and celebrated with their school and community.

IS STUDY ABROAD RIGHT FOR ME?
‍We encourage all eligible students to consider applying for DCPS Study Abroad! DCPS Study Abroad trips take place in the summer, and they are between 5-12 days long.  Our trips focus on language learning, community service, STEM and/or global leadership.  Students who are selected for DCPS Study Abroad are assigned a trip based on their World Language course history and interests. CPS Study Abroad exists to make travel more equitably available to students.  Our selection process considers students' World Language course history, students' prior travel experience, the strength of a student's application, and schools' federal Title I percentages (i.e. Free-and-Reduced-Price Meals). Review our eligibility criteria, download a copy of the application, and read more about our selection process below.
