At The Palmas Academy, the world is our classroom. By experiencing foreign countries, iconic monuments and distant cultures firsthand, many of our students connect with academic studies and the world at large in a whole new way. Every year, our students are given the opportunity to travel abroad on a school trip. Here are some of our past and future trips.
