“We must go beyond textbooks, go out into the bypaths and untrodden depths of the wilderness and travel and explore and tell the world the glories of our journey.” John Hope Franklin
At RSGC, we are adventurous! The importance we place on exploring life outside the classroom can be demonstrated in the variety of trips we offer for students each year. Every effort is made to plan trips around academic time, many occur over the March Break. Whenever possible, connections to curriculum are encouraged.
