We are thrilled to share highlights from our recent Diploma Programme (DP) retreat, which took place from September 12th to 14th. This exciting event provided students with the opportunity to engage in Creativity, Activity, and Service (CAS) and Theory of Knowledge (TOK), while also developing their collaborative, leadership, and critical thinking skills in the beautiful Qiandao Hu region.
