We are women empowering women since 2003. The idea of The Traveling School sprang from a group of high school girls and founder Gennifre Hartman in 2000. They imagined a dream school – one high school semester to travel the world, fully engaging in a region to learn firsthand about its history, people, challenges and its sheroes. They believed this school should mix experiential academics along with outdoor and cultural activities. This would be more than school – here, students would become a community of learners.

The Traveling School launched its first semester in the spring of 2003. Since that time, many talented and committed individuals have helped us realize this dream. Today, The Traveling School demonstrates a strong track record of providing exceptional semesters that serve as a catalyst for future female leaders who return home from their dream semester with the confidence, insight and dedication to become agents of change.
