Noble and Greenough School

Travel Opportunities

At Nobles, students and adults work together during trips that involve service learning, language immersion, cultural exchange, intellectual pursuit and physical challenge. Whether it is helping to rebuild New Orleans, working with orphaned children in Romania or tutoring math in South Africa, these shared experiences allow students to develop an ethic of connectedness and a conviction that individuals can make a difference in the world.
