Calverton Cougars are intentionally internationally minded and always on the move. We hope you enjoy following our adventures.
Continuing on the success of our Cougar Journeys in 2017 and 2018 (IB- CAS in Prague, Expedition South Africa, and Explore India), this year our students and faculty are heading out into the world again. Travel along as we:
We’re excited to keep exploring, learning, and sharing as we set out to make Cougar Tracks.
Here are some pictures of our visit to the castle – the largest medieval castle in the world.
Bobsledding in Prague! The wind, the rush, the view- all of it has been an amazing ride (pun intended) as Erin and I enjoy our last day in the beautiful city before we all head home.

Today some of our students participated in a cooking challenge to feed men at a homeless shelter – Nadeje. If you look closely you might see tears (it’s the onions).
We spent half of the day on an urban farm in Prague! This collective works to farm naturally, preserving soil and using natural compost (part of which is provided from the sheep’s…well, it smells but it works!) to keep their camps thriving! Here’s a picture of me with a bunch of my friends from the school from Uganda as we shovel the soil for a new bed of plants.
Followed by sun, food and fun!
A challenging day for students. They designed, planned and processed plans for building a flower pot. It was inspiring to see the amount of thought and collaboration that went into this. I am so proud of our students.
Hunter and I got up early to run with David Christof, our inspirational speaker from last night on his charity work Water is Life (running to raise awareness and donations for getting clean water to underdeveloped countries). We ran for twenty minutes, at which point, I was ready to collapse! Hunter was still going strong, though, and we had no time to waste because we had a busy day ahead!
