India Immersion Trip
 

The India Immersion Trip is a bi-annual, two week program that allows Upper School students to deepen their classroom study of history, religion, and literature. Partnering with Sacred Heart schools in the cities of Mumbai and Haregaon, students engage with peers for an unforgettable experience that revolutionizes how they understand and work with others around the globe. 

Below is a feature from the 91st Street Magazine that showcases journal entries from Sacred Heart students and faculty who participated in the inaugural India Immersion trip in December 2022. As their accounts show, the experience was not just a trip; it was a life-changing journey.
