International Community Involvement

Wildwood’s International Community Involvement (ICI) program offers 9th through 12th grade students the opportunity to extend their community involvement beyond our home in the world by opting to spend their spring break living, working, and learning abroad. Hands-on experiences such as working with humanitarian organizations and teaching in local schools give participants a distinct perspective about the country’s social, political, and economic reality.

In the past 15 years, Wildwood students have ventured across the globe (eight countries and counting) as they put their Wildwood education into action, drawing on language skills and lessons from Habits of Mind and Heart to face challenges and enjoy unforgettable experiences. Through interaction, exploration, and reflection, students return with a better understanding of their world—and their role within it.
