Global Programs

Crofton House School offers many global programs designed to expose students to new perspectives, places and cultures. These fun, challenging, transformative experiences help expand girls’ horizons and develop valuable leadership skills.

Global Experiential Trips

These trips provide students with meaningful, authentic, and responsible opportunities to engage with people, cultures, and nature both nationally and internationally. Grounded in our dedication to embedding intercultural competencies, self-reflection, and perspective taking, these experiences encourage students to approach challenges with open-mindedness and intellectual curiosity. By integrating the subject knowledge from various domains through curricular and co-curricular programming, students develop empathy, ethical decision-making skills, and the ability to collaborate across diverse perspectives to address real-world issues responsibly.

These trips take place during the school year and range in length from 5–10 days.

Global Exchanges

Our Global Exchange Program is an exciting opportunity for girls to experience the culture and education of another country. Through the experiences of travelling to attend a new school and staying with a host family, girls build important life skills, including independence, decision-making, social adaptability, resilience and courage. We currently offer six-week exchanges with partner schools in New Zealand or Australia:

St Catherine’s School, Melbourne, Victoria,
Australia (Grade 10)
Pymble Ladies’ College, Sydney, New South
Wales, Australia (Grade 10)
Waikato Diocesan School for Girls, Hamilton,
New Zealand (Grade 10)
St. Helen’s & St. Katherine’s, Abingdon,
England (Grade 9)
City of London School for Girls, London,
England (Grade 9)
La Pietra Hawai’i School

“One of my passions is music and there’s a really amazing program here. I sing in the choir and play in the orchestra – but there’s also band, stage band and musical theatre.”
