In February, a High School Grade 1 field trip to the United Kingdom took place for the first time, offering students a unique opportunity to explore leading universities and significant cultural landmarks firsthand.

During their stay, the students visited some of the world’s most renowned universities, including University College London (UCL), King’s College London, Imperial College London, the University of Bath, and the University of Warwick. Through guided campus tours, they learned about academic programs, campus life, and career prospects, gaining valuable insights to help shape their future professional pathways.

Alongside the academic component, the excursion also featured enriching cultural experiences. Students attended the world-famous musical Les Misérables, enjoying an unforgettable, high-quality theatrical performance. In addition, they visited the imposing Windsor Castle, one of the official residences of the British royal family, and explored the mysterious prehistoric monument of Stonehenge up close.

A highlight of the trip was the visit to the historic city of Oxford, where students walked through picturesque streets, admired the architecture of the colleges, and experienced centuries of academic tradition.

This visit was a multifaceted experience that combined academic exploration, culture, and experiential learning. The students returned with broadened horizons, new knowledge, and renewed aspirations, having strengthened their interest in education and the world beyond our borders.
