Student International Travel

Oakcrest’s International Programs invite students to step beyond the classroom and encounter the richness of the wider world. Through travel and cultural immersion, students deepen their faith, broaden their perspectives, and form lasting friendships across borders. These experiences cultivate independence, global awareness, and a spirit of adventure rooted in Oakcrest’s mission.

For 2025, students can apply for two exciting international experiences:
