Educational opportunities at Harvard-Westlake extend well beyond our campus.  Each year, faculty-led travel programs introduce students to cultures around the world and deepen their understanding of global issues. Recent programs have included language immersion, cultural exchange, performance opportunities, and student conferences. Programs are promoted throughout the year by the faculty organizers. If you are interested in learning more, please contact Jim Patterson, Director of the Kutler Center.
