Iceland Trip Postponed to Summer 2022. Spots still available!

With the current pandemic, we are going to postpone the Iceland trip until 2022. Like the original plan, we will try to leave as close to the end of classes as possible, with a likely departure date of June 1, 2022. The itinerary will remain the same. 

There are still spots available for new travelers to experience a once-in-a-lifetime trip! All students currently in grades 8-10 (classes of 2023, 2024 and 2025) are eligible for the trip. If you are interested in joining, check out this short video for a glimpse into the wonders students will experience on this trip and the ACIS website for basic trip details. Note that this trip meets requirements for both the Global Studies and STEM Concentrations. For more details about the specifics of the trip, please reach out to Stacia Hottle (shottle@tampaprep.org) or Ginger Chapman (gchapman@tampaprep.org), the trip coordinators.
