“PTK organizes field trips and service-learning events to spark curiosity, foster leadership, promote cultural awareness, and create transformative learning experiences beyond the classroom. These opportunities empower students to build confidence, discover their strengths, unlock their potential, and connect with a deeper sense of purpose. Every time I see PTK students step up, engage, collaborate, and lead with heart, I know they are preparing for the next chapter, both academically and professionally. Through these experiences, we are not simply supporting student success; we are inspiring the next generation of global leaders to shape a brighter, more hopeful future.”
