About Us

The Mission of Education Abroad opportunities at The College of St. Scholastica is to deepen appreciation of the Catholic Benedictine Values through meaningful international educational and service experiences: Community Education Abroad builds community by providing opportunities to welcome the stranger, value the uniqueness of others, and strengthen knowledge of social responsibility and critical global issues. Stewardship Through a balance between study and experience, Education Abroad provides opportunities to experience the importance of a wise use of resources and the global environment. Hospitality By observing, listening and responding sensitively to others, Education Abroad puts hospitality into action. Participants not only share hospitality, but experience it through the lens of other cultures. Respect Education Abroad participants will learn to interact with cultural fluency, value the uniqueness of others, and treat all with dignity and respect. Love of Learning Through research and scholarship abroad, students’ curiosity will be peaked, instilling an openness to learning and an appreciation of global issues and concerns
