Cultural/Educational
Whether you are spending a week immersed in the Spanish language and salsa lessons in Madrid, or helping with marine surveys in Bali, you will be sure to return home with a new appreciation for everything you learned and tried, and all of the people you met while traveling. It’s an exciting blend of learning and adventure.

Spiritual
From sacred destinations within the United States and beyond, we will offer unique opportunities for the student to gain a greater understanding of our connectedness when immersed in our faith community.

Christian Service
At Marin Catholic, Christian Service is not something we do, it is who we are. Our work in the service of others, knows no boundaries. Our mission is to gain a greater understanding of our connectedness when immersed in our faith community through fellowship and service.
