Note: ACS does not offer an academy-wide travel experience for juniors. These learning adventures focused on the Native American experience are offered only to 11th graders from who are enrolled in the American Studies course. In 2022-23, the travel opportunity is open to all students enrolled in the Advanced Placement World History course. Students may select one of these optional travel opportunities, as spots on each trip are limited.
