The intended purpose of ROAMS Global Studies is for academic exploration and engagement in cross-cultural diversity as students examine and compare global issues from a multi-disciplinary approach. The program will incorporate field studies and outdoor activities which will occur away from the school. These activities will include skiing/snowboarding, rafting, kayaking, surfing and climbing.
