Every summer, boys travel abroad with the school's Habitat for Humanity chapter, which was the nation's first based at a high school. The photo shows boys in Tanzania.
Travel Opportunities
In Mongolia, students have the opportunity to learn about local culture while supporting local housing efforts with Habitat for Humanity.
Students get an up-close look at marine biology and oceanography on a summer trip to the Bahamas.
McCallie men took part in a mission and education trip to India in support of a charity founded by the family of a current student.
Students on the annual summer trip to China have the chance to travel extensively throughout the country and expand their horizons and understanding of the world's largest nation.
For boys to be truly ready for the world, they need to experience the world.
In addition to the array of trips offered as part of the Weekend Activities program, McCallie offers a wide variety of trips both around the country and around the world throughout the year and during school breaks. These range from intense outdoor excursions to service learning and mission trips to traditional study abroad immersion opportunities.
The trips range in from days to weeks, and are chaperoned by McCallie faculty with an interest in and expertise in the topic area of the trip. All are designed to provide boys with experiences that will stay with them for the rest of their lives.
