To enrich the students’ life during long vacations and to extend their academic learning, the school (via International Exchange Office) has been organizing overseas summer/winter camps yearly starting from 1999. It provides the students with opportunities to experience different cultures and learn the English language in varied countries.
Up till now, over 1100 students have joined the school’s overseas summer/winter camps to the US, UK, Australia, Canada, Japan, Germany, etc. and have benefited greatly. Their interest in learning English and language skills have been improved significantly; they become more politely and courteously; and they get better understanding of and more open to cultures of different countries, which helps them formulate better personalities and pave the ways for their possible learning abroad in the years ahead. We, as always, are committed to selecting and exploring any possible programs to provide chances for our students to experience various cultures by immersing them in foreign countries and studying foreign languages including English, German, etc. We really hope such experience will help to develop our children to be global citizens with awareness and abilities.
In 2014, the school laid out a Bi-year Overseas Summer Camp Scheme which provides a plan on all age-appropriate programs rotating every two years for students from 5 to 17 to facilitate students and their parents to make plans and choices, and it is also approved that the rotation after every two years is subject to change according to the programs operation of the previous years.
The table of integrating the plan and its actualization during the past two years is shown below.
