Pacifica Stories

Nearly 90 students, alongside 17 faculty and staff, are spread across the globe. Our seniors are in Barcelona, our sophomores and juniors are in Greece, and our freshmen are in Costa Rica. These are not simply trips; they are formative experiences that shape perspective, deepen relationships, and expand understanding.

At Pacifica, learning new things is a passion. Learning new things firsthand is invaluable.

Our travel program exists to give students the opportunity to see the world, to encounter different cultures, and to gain a broader vision of life. Travel stretches students. It builds confidence, fosters independence, and helps them understand the “big picture” of who they are, how they relate to others, and what kind of life they are being called to live.

Each year, our Spring Break trips are built around a three-year cycle of themes: Adventure, Great Cities, and Curriculum Enrichment. Whether serving communities in need, exploring historic cities, or engaging in hands-on learning experiences, students grow not only in knowledge but in wisdom and character. Just as important, they build lasting bonds with their teachers and one another, relationships that often become some of the most meaningful parts of their high school experience.

Looking ahead, we are excited to continue this tradition. In April 2027, our freshmen will return to Costa Rica, while our sophomores, juniors, and seniors will travel to Paris and the South of France, continuing to expand the horizons of our students and our community.

At Pacifica, we believe education is not confined to desks and classrooms. It happens in cities, along the Wilshire corridor, in jungles, in conversations, in challenges, and in moments of awe.

This is how we form students who are ready for college and ready for the world.
