The Wall Street Journal featured the Graham School as its lead example in a story today spotlighting the unique appeal of scholarly travel. The story centers on the experiences of lifelong learner Don Phillips, who has participated in Graham’s travel study programs in Oxford, Greece, and beyond.

For Don, the article reports, the joy of travel begins with a reading list. โ€œItโ€™s nerdy, I admit it,โ€ says Phillips in the article. โ€œBut thereโ€™s such a unique connection to place when youโ€™re traveling in a learning environment.โ€

That connection is at the heart of the Graham School’s travel study program. Each destination is designed for lifelong learners who are eager to expand their perspectives through immersive, intellectually rewarding journeys.

For Don, and so many others, the magic of travel study lies in uncovering the deeper meaning of the places we visit and returning home with both memories and new ideas. Click here to read the full article in The Wall Street Journal.
