Team Tobati – Where Service Builds Character

Founded by Kingswood Oxford teacher Ronald Garcia in 1998, Team Tobati has become a popular service opportunity at Kingswood Oxford. Our institutional value of “care beyond self” is lived out in this annual trip to Tobati, Paraguay in March where students build resilience, empathy, and compassion while building roads, housing, and personal connections. Tobati stresses the importance and necessity of civic engagement and social responsibility. Over the years, hundreds of Kingswood Oxford students, approximately 70% of the Upper School students, have completed dozens of projects that serve the needs of the people in the region.

Other Off-Campus Travel Programs

International Model U.N.

At Kingswood Oxford, we encourage students to push beyond their comfort zones and pursue educational opportunities in unfamiliar environments. In addition to attending local Model U.N. Conferences, our students attend conferences abroad with school staff members. Students traveled to Russia to attend the St. Petersburg International Model U.N., a three-day simulation in which students problem-solve vexing international issues. One of our Form 3 students captured the Best Delegate in her committee. Before the conference began, students toured Moscow. In previous years, students have attended conferences in Portugal, Madrid, Budapest, and Prague, accompanied by a week of travel with private local guides. 

June Trips

Several students travel abroad in June, accompanied by KO teachers and staff. With a robust itinerary, these trips offer hands-on learning with a deep cultural perspective. In June of 2026, the students visited Italy and Greece with their Latin teachers – the best tour guides ever! Highlights included exploring Rome (the Piazza del Popolo, the Pantheon, the Vatican, the Roman Forum, and the Colosseum.) From there, they enjoyed a trip south to Capri, Sorrento, and Pompeii. An overnight ferry landed the group in Patras, Greece, where they visited Delphi and Athens.
