Every Easter break, Molloy takes a group of students on Educational Adventures around the world! Designed by Ms. Dorothy DeNoto and planned through the travel company Passports, the trip always includes visits to multiple countries and is packed with entries to museums, castles, shows, cathedrals, and more!
In 2024, the adventure took Stanners to Scandinavia, with stops in Denmark, Norway, and Sweden. Over a period of 13 days, 41 students and five chaperones visited the cities of Copenhagen, Oslo, Bergen, and Stockholm, with pit stops in Ål and Flåm. From a boat ride through the stunning Fjords to singing on stage in the ABBA museum, the trip was truly a once in a lifetime experience!
Ms. DeNoto is a firm believer of traveling the world and broadening your horizons. She exclaims that “the enlightenment that shows in the students’ eyes as they experience cultures through new lenses is astounding!” Junior Alyssa Bisono ‘25 thought the trip was “truly beautiful and breathtaking.” She continued, “Going to the Scandinavian countries provided a great opportunity to take a step back from the fast paced life (and craziness of junior year) and just be present in the moment and appreciate the beautiful, natural scenery, especially the Fjords!” Senior Christopher Flynn ‘24 said the trip was “unforgettable,” and that “he made a lot of great memories and built upon relationships with friends.”
At the conclusion of the trip, Ms. DeNoto told students that “the world is their oyster,” and encouraged them to “continue to travel and seek pearls of wisdom wherever their journey takes them!” All of her Educational Adventures are meant to be just the beginning of a lifelong journey of travel and adventure, and we hope the students continue to appreciate the full world around them!
