The SCCS Cardinals Fly Across the Pond for the Adventure of a Lifetime!

The walls have come down and the roof is off in Santa Clarita Christian School’s British literature classroom. Forty-three SCCS students and chaperones travelled across the pond for nine days in April touring England from its northern parts in Haworth, to the heart of the country in London.  Students spent the year studying the literature of Britain from Bronte to Shakespeare, Shelley to Browning, and then set out to discover with their own eyes the rich historical context and landscape that inspired the best of the country’s literary offerings.

From walks on the Cotswolds to the London Eye, punting on the Avon and theater in the West End, palaces, Stonehenge, the Tower, Oxford, each day was designed to reveal the diversity of this fascinating country. We invite you to take this remarkable and ambitious journey with us through the blog which details the tremendous territory we covered by plane, ferry, tube, and over sixty miles on foot!
The literary tour expanded the student’s love for and understanding of some of the world’s greatest authors, but more importantly supported the object and reward of all who attend SCCS – to provide a distinctive biblical worldview that grows its students affection for Christ and prepares them to live their convictions with integrity, confidence, and humility no matter where they are in the world.
