Week Without Walls 2015 Phoenix Arizona Pen Pals And New World Educational Center April 10-April 17

Benefits of going to Arizona Visiting a school in Phoenix will give students an American classroom experience with pen pals. By spending time in an American classroom in the U.S., they'll have a chance to meet someone they may not have otherwise been able to meet. QSI students will have an opportunity to discuss world issues with students who have a different perspective about them.

Benefits continued In interacting with American students in school, they'll share important cultural traditions. Create wonderful memories and life-long friendships.

New World's mission statement is "Creating lifelong learners within a comfortable, safe, and trusting environment“.

Experience the Grand Canyon 3 hours north of Phoenix

The Grand Canyon National Parks provide outstanding outdoor classrooms that support and enhance learning objectives. Grand Canyon National Park rangers conduct curriculum-based field trips. Parks provide students with real-world examples of concepts they learn in the classroom. Field trips encourage students to explore, experience, and engage in the learning process. Programs take place along the rim of Grand Canyon—an inspirational backdrop. All programs are aligned with National and Arizona Academic Standards.

Amazing scenery, amazing experience!

Kartchner Caverns Tucson, Arizona

Kartchner Caverns Rated one of the World's Top 10 Caves by experts for its vast and incredibly unique mineral formations. It's the only one of the ten open for public viewing in the United States. Stalactites hang like colossal icicles, mirrored by Stalagmites projecting up from the floor. Some of them meet to form columns.
