Franklin School Trips & Immersion Programs

Franklin’s commitment to providing a global education extends well beyond our curriculum by offering students exceptional opportunities to learn about different countries and cultures firsthand. Through a wide range of immersive experiences both domestically and overseas, students gain a deeper understanding of the world, broaden their perspective, and develop the competencies needed to become successful global leaders.

We understand the importance of community and the power of forging meaningful connections. Our travel learning programs foster a sense of belonging and camaraderie among students as they embark on adventures together, share transformative experiences, and form lifelong friendships that transcend borders.

With a global network of Dwight Schools spanning continents and extending into the cloud, we are delighted to provide students with a plethora of opportunities to connect with their peers worldwide, collaborate, and bond through a shared spark of genius. Through Dwight Schools in New York, London, Seoul, Shanghai, Dubai, Hanoi, Cairo, and online, the potential for cross-campus exchange is limitless.

Franklin’s experiential learning approach continues beyond the classroom as our students venture far and wide, exploring the history, culture, natural landscape, and traditions of countries around the world.

Franklin Destinations and the WILD Program encourage students to embrace all of the incredible opportunities to embark on transformative voyages of personal growth that deepen their sparks of genius and expand their worldview.

Students also have the opportunity to participate in Dwight’s outdoor WILD (Wilderness Instruction and Leadership Development) program. WILD builds community and helps fulfill our vision to “foster the next generation of global leaders who can thrive anywhere in the world.” This includes the wild outdoors! Students take part in hiking and paddling expeditions in and around  New York State — and around the globe.
