See the World with Webb
World language travel and study through cultural exchange allows Webb students to “go to the world”, enrich their language skills, explore new places, and serve others. Webb also fosters exchange programs that bring global students to our campus community.
Webb offers several opportunities for travel abroad each year, organized by faculty both within and beyond the Department of World Languages. These programs are typically scheduled around school holidays and summer break so as to not interfere with students’ academic studies.
Middle School Trips
Each spring, middle school students have the opportunity to take a 3-4 day trip to a major city in the US to extend their learning beyond the walls of the classroom. Past trips have included destinations such as Washington, DC, Boston, Chicago, and Charleston.

The group traveled through the country visiting Athens, Delphi, the Thermopylae and Meteora Region, Thessaloniki, Dion and other sites visiting museums, villages, archaeological parks, a monastery and battle site. While in Athens during independence day, they visited the Acropolis Museum and saw the independence day parade.
