Exploration

Educational trips and excursions are an essential part of our curriculum, offering students unique opportunities to explore the world outside the classroom and deepen their understanding of various subjects. These experiences are designed to complement academic learning while fostering personal growth, cultural awareness and a lifelong love of exploration.

Real-world learning

Residential trips and excursions allow students to engage directly with the world they’re studying. Whether it's visiting the many historical sites in Luxembourg and beyond, exploring our beautiful natural surroundings, or touring museums, these experiences help bring lessons to life in a way that can’t be achieved through lectures alone. They give students the chance to witness real-world applications of the concepts they learn in school, making learning more meaningful and memorable.

 

In Year 5 we have been learning about the Romans and our residential trip was to Trier in Germany. We visited the Porta Nigra, played Roman games and did other fun things, like visiting the zoo. I saw lots of statues, which I took photos of. At the start of the year, we also had a day when we dressed as Romans. Our Year 4 trip was also really good and Year 3 too. Next week we will visit the World War II museum. I like excursions and residentials because we get to learn about things that happened in the past. We can see them with our own eyes.

Curiosity and critical thinking

Travelling and discovering new places ignite curiosity, encouraging students to ask questions and seek out answers. Excursions provide an excellent opportunity to practice critical thinking and problem-solving as students observe, analyse and engage with their surroundings. These hands-on experiences encourage intellectual curiosity and challenge students to think beyond the confines of the classroom.

Cultural awareness and global citizenship

As an international school, we are committed to nurturing global citizens. Educational trips, whether local or abroad, immerse students in diverse cultures, customs and languages. These experiences foster understanding and empathy, allowing students to appreciate the rich diversity of the world and recognise their role in a global society. Students develop an appreciation for different perspectives and are encouraged to think critically about global issues.

Building teamwork and confidence

Trips and excursions often involve group activities, allowing students to collaborate and work together outside the classroom setting. These shared experiences help strengthen teamwork and communication skills, while building confidence and independence. Overcoming challenges together—whether navigating a foreign city, participating in team-building activities, or adapting to new environments—creates bonds and builds lifelong memories.
