The Western International School of Shanghai (WISS) recently hosted a series of transformative Explore China trips for students from Grade 6 to Grade 10. These excursions provided a unique opportunity for students to engage deeply with China's rich cultural heritage while stepping outside their comfort zones, embracing new challenges, and forming lasting memories. Each trip was meticulously designed to educate and inspire, fostering a sense of adventure and global citizenship among participants.
The Explore China trips are rooted in the mission of WISS to cultivate well-rounded individuals who are prepared for the complexities of a global society. The primary goal is to foster personal growth and resilience among students. Each journey encourages exploration of diverse environments, engagement with local cultures, and participation in community service. By immersing themselves in different regions of China, students gain valuable insights into the country's history, traditions, and contemporary life, enriching their educational experience and broadening their perspectives.
