I’m looking ahead to planning a 2028 KBA Student Trip, and I’d love your feedback to help choose the destination!

The trip will be organized through WorldStrides, an educational travel company with more than 50 years of experience creating student travel opportunities. I’ve traveled with WorldStrides before and had incredible experiences, and I’m excited to share that experience with more KBA students.

I’m currently considering three exciting destinations: the Yucatán Peninsula, Costa Rica, and Belize.

Each destination offers a unique mix of adventure, culture, history, wildlife, and opportunities to learn outside the classroom.

Please take a few minutes to look through the trip options and complete the survey. Your feedback will help us decide where KBA heads in 2028!
