Discover China

Our incredible Discover China Week allows our students in Grades 4-12 the opportunity to link classroom learning with real-life situations. It also aims to broaden students’ experiences and knowledge of China, which is deeply connected to our school Strategy component of Burst the Bubble.

Engage with China

Students will find engagement opportunities in regional arts, history, culture, and, most importantly with its people.

Bond with Peers 

Outside the classroom door, learners shine in different ways. These trips help our students forge new and lasting relationships.

Have an Adventure!

Discover China experiences involve stepping outside one's comfort zone by embracing challenge and calculated risks.

Xi'an Trip Highlights

Our Secondary students are able to discover the full richness of the diversity and 5,000 years of history China has to offer. From Shaolin to Beijing, Guizhou and beyond, students engage in unforgettable challenges and experiences that extend far beyond the classroom. 

Primary Trip Highlights

From water purification to forest ecology, our intrepid Primary students engage in nature-based activities and challenges that not only foster teamwork, but also develop a deeper connection with the environment.

Lishui Trip Highlights

Beyond the urban culture and history of China's cities, our Secondary students also immerse themselves in the country's natural beauty, both close to Nanjing and to far-flung provinces. Sustainability and appreciation for the environment are core components of adventures in learning that include exciting activities on water and land.
