In
troubling times, it’s reassuring to be able to look back upon a
long and durable tradition. Putney Student Travel has
been offering unparalleled opportunities for high school
students to explore the world for 55 summers, making us one of
the oldest organizations of our kind in America. But the wealth
of experience, contacts, and time-tested educational approaches
we’ve developed over the past half century and more has never
stood in the way of the things we’re famous for: bold
innovation, new adventures, cultural interaction, and a
continuing emphasis on flexible, dynamic, well-planned
small-group learning experiences guided by uniquely qualified
leaders.
An ongoing quest for adventure. On our website and in our catalog, you’ll find dozens of enticing programs, many of which have been created in the last several years. This roster is balanced by many other itineraries that are tried and true, but all of our programs reflect a long-term commitment to seeking out the hidden corners of the world, and making them safely accessible to our bold and discriminating participants. Exploring old places in new ways. The Putney Way does not involve traveling on a tour bus, eating at MacDonald’s, or staying in five star hotels. We’ve always favored the off-the-beaten path approach, which may or may not involve alternative forms of transportation such as the one pictured here.
We
care about people. The great value of our programs
has never been limited to accomplishments such as increased
language fluency or progressive grassroots development. It’s
interaction with local people that offers the greatest rewards
-- and a network of enduring friendships that stretches across
the planet. |
