Trips
Grade 10 Week Without Walls:
A Truly Amazing Cultural Experience Our six-day educational expedition through eastern China provided students with an immersive experience in Chinese culture, education, and modern development. The journey, from November 10th-15th, 2024, encompassed three major cities Shanghai, Suzhou, and Hangzhou - each offering unique insights into China's rich heritage and contemporary progress.
The trip's educational focus was highlighted by visits to prestigious institutions. At Fudan University, one of China's top academic establishments, students gained valuable perspectives on higher education in China and potential international study opportunities. The visit to NYU Shanghai further demonstrated the growing intersection of Eastern and Western educational approaches, providing students with a global perspective on academic possibilities. In Suzhou, known as the "Venice of the East," students explored the UNESCO World Heritage site Zhuozheng Yuan (The Humble Administrator's Garden), where they learned about classical Chinese garden design principles and their philosophical foundations. The Suzhou Museum offered insights into the region's artistic heritage and historical artefacts. The ancient Pingjiang Road provided students with a firsthand experience of traditional Chinese street culture and architecture.
