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.
This year, 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.

Up until now, over 1,000 students have joined the school’s overseas summer/winter camps to the US, UK,Australia, Canada, Japan and have benefited greatly. Their English skills and interest in learning English have been improved significantly; they become more politely and courteously; and they get a better understanding of and more open to cultures of different countries, which helps them formulate better personalities and lay out a better foundation for their possible learning abroad in the years ahead.
