We Welcome Your Application to Join Us!
We build each of our groups with care, keeping the groups small (no more than twelve students), and paying close attention to age, grade, gender, and the mix of hometowns and schools. Our goal is to put together great groups — groups where nice kids thrive in a supportive, wholesome, and caring environment. Please note: availability as shown is based on students traveling without a friend; if your child is interested in traveling with a friend, please call our office for availability.

A Message to the Overland Community
Overland’s mission is rooted in respect for others. We are committed to a world in which every person is seen, heard, and valued.
To the Black people in our country and in the Overland community: we stand in solidarity with you.
To the people of color in our country and in the Overland community: we stand in solidarity with you.
We mourn the deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and countless others lost to brutality and violence.
There is challenging work ahead. We are committed to listening to those who have lived experiences of racism so we can learn. We seek to make changes close to home that we hope will be multiplied by thousands of similar actions across the country.
In this time of great pain and dissonance, we are committed to facing injustice and acting on the lessons we learn.
