The capstone trip is on again! About 10 8th grade CIP students will travel to China for 12 days in June 2025.
What is "capstone"? It's a culmination of 9 years of immersive language learning, and is one of the major educational achievements of the ISD-742 immersion programs. Students travel with bilingual chaperones to a native-speaking country, to get the ultimate practice in using their extensive language skills. They'll visit cities of different sizes, climb mountains, learn about the economy of tea, and so much more.
