The score was tied, 2-2. There was just one minute left in the game. The mood was tense as Danielle Goebel stepped up to take a corner kick. The kick went up, a well-placed ball to the far post, and… GOAL!
Traveling abroad opens a student’s mind to new perspectives and provides a life-changing experience. Each summer, at Evansville Day School, we organize family international trips so that we can foster globally minded thinking and understanding in our classrooms, while making special connections within our EDS family.

Having choices and the opportunity to be balanced is what I love most about Evansville Day School! I feel like next to being globally minded and focusing on academics, my superpower is definitely sports! And by sports, I mean all kinds of sports. From basketball, to soccer, to cross country, and tennis, I represent the SUPER-SPORTS power of EDS!

Which brings us to China.
