Secondary SY25-26 Week Without Walls – International Trips

This year, our high school students traveled to Jeju Island, Korea, for their Week Without Walls (WWW) trip. They created wonderful memories alongside their classmates and teachers.

Here’s what our students had to say:

“Our trip to Jeju Island was truly memorable, especially the coastal hike and the visit to the stone museum. The hike was beautiful, with the ocean right beside us and the sound of the waves making it feel calm and refreshing. Another memorable experience was the stone museum, where we learned about Jeju’s history and how volcanic stones have played an important role in the island’s culture and daily life. Both experiences helped us understand Jeju not just as a tourist spot, but as a place with deep history and natural beauty.”  (From Sisi, our HS student)

“We just returned from the adventure of a lifetime—a learning trip to Jeju Island, Korea, where nature was the teacher. Some students showcased their creativity by crafting dolphin tail keychains, a unique activity that combined local craftsmanship with lessons on the historical and environmental significance of dolphins to the island. We returned with more than just souvenirs; we brought back a broadened global perspective, along with the perseverance and fortitude of true explorers.” (From Mohammed, our HS student)

“The high school trip to Jeju was a memorable experience that combined fun, learning, and exploration. We participated in activities like orange picking and pizza making, which gave us a hands-on glimpse into local culture, as well as hiking. Even outside the scheduled activities, spending time together while night shopping helped us bond and made the trip even more special.” (From Elias, our HS student)

今年，我们的高中生前往韩国济州岛开展无墙周活动。学生和老师们一起创造了美好的回忆。

现在我们就来听听学生们是怎么说的：

“我们的济州岛之行令人难忘，尤其是海岸徒步以及参观石头博物馆的行程。徒步旅行沿路可以欣赏美景，而大海就在我们身旁，海浪的声音让我们感到内心平静和明朗。另一个令人难忘的经历是参观石头博物馆，在那里我们了解了济州岛的历史，以及火山石对于岛上的文化以及在日常生活中所发挥的重要作用。这两段经历让我们感受到济州岛不仅仅是一个旅游景点，更是一个有着深厚历史和自然美景的地方。” (来自我们的高中生Sisi的分享)

“我们刚刚结束了人生中一次难忘的冒险——韩国济州岛学习之旅。在那里，大自然就是我们的老师。学生们通过制作海豚尾部钥匙链展现了他们的创造力，这个活动的独特之处在于将本地工艺与一节关于海豚对该岛历史和环境意义的课程相结合。我们带回来的不仅是纪念品，还带回了更广阔的全球视野，以及真正探险者应有的坚韧和毅力。”(来自我们的高中生Mohammed的分享)

“我们高中部的济州岛之行是令人难忘的旅程，充满了欢乐、学习与探索。我们参加了采摘橘子，制作披萨和徒步的活动，亲自体验了当地的文化。即便是既定行程之外的活动，如一起在夜市购物的时光，也让同学间的友情变得更紧密，让这趟旅程更加特别。”(来自我们的高中生Elias的分享)
