Opportunities to broaden horizons
The High School field trips are an integral part of the curriculum and offer students some fantastic and exciting opportunities to broaden their international experience.
One of the highlights of our field trip calendar is the annual Global Citizen Week that aligns not only with the IB Learner Profile but with our school values. Students have the option of choosing from a range of exciting destinations which will encourage them to step out of their comfort zones, look at life from a different perspective and engage with different cultures.
With choices as diverse as a multi-activity adventure in Norway to French or Spanish immersion living with local families or a cultural experience in London, the purpose of the trips – apart from being fun and interesting – is to provide learning experiences outside the classroom which focus on team building, collaboration and creative thinking in new and diverse environments.
In addition, throughout the year there are many opportunities to take part in seasonal, international sports trips and music festivals in other parts of Europe.
Staying with local families allows students to immerse themselves in their way of life, culture and customs.
Our students also have a great opportunity to experience and develop international diplomatic leadership skills through involvement in MUN (Model United Nations) in Scotland and in Leiden in the Netherlands.
