Welcome to PUTNEY STUDENT TRAVEL
High School Summer Programs Abroad Since 1951
Summer Programs Abroad for Middle and High School Students
For 62 years, Putney Student Travel has offered high school and middle school students the opportunity and insight to shape their world through travel, unique cultural engagement, friendship, and fun. Our summer programs for high school and middle school students include community service, language immersion, adventure travel, pre-college enrichment, and global awareness.
We believe that an essential component of every young person’s education is passionate engagement with the world in the company of carefully selected peers–an experience that goes far beyond looking out the window of a teen tour bus. We offer summer programs in North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Oceania.
