U.S. Travel Update
After thoughtful consideration and consultation with several other CAIS-accredited schools, UTS has decided to pause grade trips to the U.S. for the 2025-2026 school year. This decision reflects our commitment to the well-being of students and staff, in light of increased concerns about the possibility of negative experiences while travelling.
That said, we recognize the value of U.S.-based competitions and will continue to support student participation in these opportunities on a case-by-case basis. Whenever travel to the U.S. is approved, we will implement enhanced safety protocols and provide comprehensive preparation to support all participants.
Planning is well underway for meaningful grade trips within Canada and to the UK for our M4 and S6 students. We look forward to sharing more details with families in the near future.
