“When you travel, there is some inevitable learning that occurs that can’t be replicated by anything else,” says Ron McClain, our Head of School. Parkmont has a long tradition of providing small stipends to faculty for summer travel, and we’ve been delighted to have the help of a current family in supporting teachers’ recent adventures.
Nijole
We were a little nervous when Nijole set off on her 9-day trek through England’s Cotswolds region. Fortunately, she was not trampled by sheep, nor did she fatally enter the plot of an IRL British mystery. Before heading to the Cotswolds, Nijole took an 11-mile stroll around London, with stops to see the Magna Carta and a handwritten draft of George Eliot’s Middlemarch.
Milo
Milo covered a lot of ground this summer, traveling to Spain, England, Hungary, and Switzerland! Here he is hiking in Champéry, Switzerland, near the French border. The mountains behind him are the Dents du Midi.
Klara
Klára spent time in Hungary this summer and also sailed the coast of Croatia from Dubrovnik to Split. A dedicated rock climber, Klara of course managed to find some altitude while aboard!
