Some of the best learning happens outside the classroom.

During the Marianas Education Tourism Program, participants explored the crystal-clear waters of Managaha Island 🏝️, enjoyed lagoon sailing with 500 Sails ⛵, and ended the day stargazing at Banzai Cliff ✨. These immersive experiences encouraged students to practice English while discovering the natural beauty and unique experiences that make the Marianas unlike anywhere else.

The classroom is only the beginning.

As part of the Marianas Education Tourism Program, participants explored the history, culture, and natural beauty of the CNMI through immersive experiences across the islands. From visiting the CREES Agricultural Farm 🌱 to learning about the islands’ history at the American Memorial Park Museum and exploring significant sites in Marpi, including the Last Command Post and the Shizuoka Memorial, participants gained a deeper understanding of the connections between CNMI and Japanese history. The day concluded with a cultural exchange with the MHS Polksai Chamorro Club, allowing students to experience local traditions while practicing English in meaningful, real-world settings. 🌺
