a message from the wls executive director:

Hello friends and family of Seven Peaks School students, 

Thank you so much for your trust and support of our programs. We are very excited about the group's upcoming departures and want you to know that we are here to answer any questions you have. You can either email us or call at (303) 679-3412 (toll-free 1-888-831-8109).  Here are some final reminders and pieces of information:

Field Notes. We have set up a blog (AKA field notes) for each grade's program, which we encourage you to check every few days. The blog plays a critical role in helping students disconnect and be present in their new surroundings. Young people today receive so few chances to disconnect from text messaging, Facebook and email, so please encourage them to do just that! The blog will be used to announce the group's arrival and also advise you of any flight delays on the return trip home. Students write journal entries and take pictures, which faculty and instructors will post to the blog every few days. The blog ensures that parents get lots of information about what the group is doing, and also takes the pressure off students to be emailing and calling home. 

Itinerary. We're excited about the overall design of these programs. Please note that the exact schedule may shift a bit as the departure date approaches, and even once the students are in the field. As a reminder, we ask that students:

  • Leave behind cell phones and any kind of electronic devices (except for a camera) in the spirit of an "unplugged" experience;

  • Remember to wear long pants and closed-toed shoes when outside, which greatly reduces the incidence of insect and other bites, sunburn and cuts to the feet. 

Emergency Contact. Parents who have an emergency message should first call (303) 679-3412 (toll-free 1-888-831-8109). Routine messages can also be called into the same number during the day, or send an email to World Leadership School.  In the case of an emergency, we will contact the emergency contact listed on the student’s application form. You can view program-specific pages for each grade [and follow your child's trip updates via Field Notes below].

We are very excited for these programs and proud of all the work that the students have done as they prepare for their journeys. Please do not hesitate to be in touch with questions.

Travel in Middle Years

World Leadership School’s travel programs are immersive journeys to discover the warmth, vibrancy, and strength of people living and working in communities around the world. Along the journey, students see the world — and themselves — in new ways.

Parents, while these trips are optional for all MYP students, we do encourage total participation as we believe these travel experiences are well worth the time and money.
