"The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page."

- St. Augustine

In the spirit of our patron, St. Augustine, Austin Prep has made a number of domestic and international trips available for students. Austin Prep students in Grades 6-12 have the opportunity to enrich their journeys through global travel. Recent international destinations have included: Australia, Canada, Costa Rica, France, Greece, Ecuador, Italy, New Zealand, Panama, Peru, the United Kingdom, and Vatican City.

The 2019-2020 school year took students across the globe. Summer 2019 kicked off with adventure-filled trips to Australia and New Zealand and a two-week cruise of the Greek Islands. The class capstone trip for seniors to Disney World was an opportunity to celebrate community and was an extension of the campus experience. Over the Christmas Season, the Austin Prep Choir traveled with family and friends on a momentous pilgrimage to Rome which culminated with the opportunity to sing for Pope Francis in St. Peter's Square on New Year's Eve.

Several of these student Journeys were profiled in publications about student travel: 

 

For more information about any of the trips, please be in touch with Mr. Michael McLaughlin, Head of Middle School. We invite you to learn about our students' experiences in their own words through their travel blogs.
