Educational Excursions
Finding the right challenge and adventure for learners can be tricky. Our Educational Excursion Programme strikes a balance between finding an inspirational location as well as a variety of unique experiences. Part of the answer lies in progression. For each year group, we scaffold the new experience to build upon the learning that happened on previous trips.
In the pre-primary school, learners enjoy outings to the local community that enhance their topic-based learning.
In the Primary & Middle School, learners visit museums, exhibitions, places linked directly to their learning, and are also given the opportunity to enjoy residential teambuilding camp experiences.
In the Senior School, there are field trips to study the local history, visit heritage sites, engage in local and global learning experiences and enjoy interactive art experiences.
Our learners across all age groups have been to places as diverse as the Lal Quila, Parliament Museum, National Museum of Natural History, Nehru Planetarium, Railway Museum, Bio-Diversity Park, World of Wonders, India Gate, Gandhi Smriti, Mother Dairy, the Dolls Museum and Bal Bhavan.
While we always expect every student to enjoy a safe and positive learning experience on our trips and residentials, we also want them to reflect deeply on what they have learned. The true value of outdoor learning lies in our ability to make real world connections, and to link our experiences outside the classroom back to our everyday lives. It is therefore the quality of the outdoor activities and the long-term impact of outdoor learning that is the most important outcome. Through these outdoor experiences our learners’ learning extends well beyond the walls of the classroom, and out into the world beyond.
