International travel...
is one way to truly bring your student’s classroom to life, offer them a better understanding of the world, enable them to build self-confidence and develop 21st Century skills and earn HS credit.  Phoenix Art Department has been traveling internationally with students since 2003.  
​These trips take place over Spring Break each year :-)

These trips are not Phoenix Talent School District Sponsored Trips.  PHS ART Club travels through EF educational tours OR Explorica for planning, insurance and great itineraries! 
​~ Whichever happens to be cheaper and offer the best options ;-)

PHS offers proficiency credit for approved coursework completed before, during and after the tour. 
​
