PREVIOUS YEARS’ TOURS, AND UPCOMING TOURS
Independence Study Tour
In the same spirit as the Liberty Tour, the “Independence Study Tour” takes high school scholars (11th and 12th-grade only) to numerous sites that are meaningful to our country’s historical foundation, such as Williamsburg, Monticello, Washington D. C., Philadelphia, Valley Forge, Gettysburg, and many more! Typically this tour takes place in October each year. Our Laveen campus is next scheduled for the Independence tour during the fall of the 2023-2024 school year.

This tour focuses on science and history in Arizona, and tour groups alternate between traveling to Southern Arizona and Northern Arizona. Itinerary destinations in northern Arizona may include the Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff, Sunset Crater, the Grand Canyon, and Sedona. Destinations in southern Arizona may include the Queen Mine in Bisbee, the Pima Air and Space Museum, and Karchner Caverns.
