WHAT A WEEK OF LIFE CHANGING EXPERIENCES!
The grades 6-10s went out for their Week Without Walls. They had incredible experiences with different areas of China, including Xiamen, Yangshuo, Hunan Province, and Inner Mongolia.
The grade 12s had their own kind of adventures as they went through their first week of 'Leaving In Style'. Their activities included some kayaking, rock climbing, bike riding and even a scavenger hunt around West Lake! What a blast!
Our grade 11s had their own unique experience right here on campus. They have their eyes focused straight ahead on their goals and objectives. This is a critical time for them as they try to get some momentum on their Extended Essays and their IAs. These projects serve as vehicles for our students to demonstrate their intellectual abilities. These are the foundational moments of their grade 12 year and their academic tasks that will propel them forward to their college choices.
The Extended Essay is a challenging research paper that will prepare them for the rigors for university classes. It requires students to analyze, synthesize, and communicate at a high level. I've included some of their topics below. They are fascinating and awe-inspiring. You can see their potential bubbling over!
