Palmer Trinity School

{ 67 } SEMESTER STUDY-AWAY Danny Reynolds x208 Study Away allows students to expand their range of opportunities for learning and growth: in such programs, the setting is as central to the learning experience as the content of the classes. Students interested in studying away must plan well in advance if they are to secure permission from PTS and admission to the program of choice. ese programs have an application process and the number of students enrolled in any given year may be limited. e programs are reciprocal so you must also be willing to host a student from the sending school in order to participate. e majority of these study away options are 6-8 weeks via Round Square during high school. ere are 250 Round Square schools in 40 countries. If you are interested in studying away, please meet with Mr. Reynolds to see if we can locate a Round Square school that will allow you to exchange. ere are two schools with long standing relationships that will allow our students to exchange each year: Abbotsleigh School in Sydney, Australia and Liceo Sorolla in Madrid, Spain. Palmer Trinity also offers semester away opportunities via e Alzar School in Idaho and Chile. Students are withdrawn from Palmer Trinity during the semester they are away at Alzar School. ey do not pay Palmer Trinity tuition and fees while away. Students must meet deadlines and apply with admission criteria set by e Alzar School. A similar opportunity is available with the Island School in Eleuthera, Bahamas. e opportunities are only available to 10 th and 11 th grade students. Students and their families must receive the approval of the Head of Upper School before committing to any study away opportunity. With the case of Alzar and Island School the academic plan must be approved in order to ensure credit while away. Students whose accounts are in arrears are not eligible to study abroad.
