Céline Lucie Aziz International and Travel Program
Build international relationships. Undermine prejudice. Transform lives globally.
The Céline Lucie Aziz International and Travel Program was established in honor of Céline Lucie Aziz, Class of 2005. Céline was an avid traveler who believed that travel has the power to connect people, broaden perspectives, and build understanding. This program celebrates her spirit and love for exploration by providing opportunities for young women at Notre Dame Academy to experience global cultures and develop a deeper understanding of the world around them.
The Céline Lucie Aziz International and Travel Program is rooted in three core pillars:
Domestic and International Travel
Each year, Notre Dame Academy students travel across the country and around the world to engage in cultural experiences that enrich their education. Last school year, students explored the Yucatán Peninsula; Vechta, Germany; and Morehead, Kentucky. These immersive experiences empower students to engage with their learning in a meaningful and transformative way.
Cultural Celebration and Exploration
Located in the heart of Los Angeles, Notre Dame Academy is uniquely positioned to celebrate the rich diversity of our city. Through programs like LA Is Our Campus, students are invited to explore the vibrant cultural mosaic that defines Los Angeles. These experiences foster connection, curiosity, and a deeper appreciation for the world around them - without ever leaving the city.
International Program
The program also supports our international student community, welcoming young women from around the world to experience Los Angeles and Notre Dame Academy. This global exchange of ideas, cultures, and friendships strengthens our campus community and reflects the spirit of connection that Céline so passionately embraced.
By introducing young women to the world early in their lives, the Céline Lucie Aziz International and Travel Program helps cultivate a love for exploration, connection, and curiosity - qualities that will stay with them for a lifetime.
