Experiential Learning

At Chinese International School we believe that by exposing students to different cultures, traditions and environments, CIS staff can contribute to the fulfillment of the CIS Mission of empowering students to “discover new paths, build bridges, and and flourish on a life’s journey in pursuit of excellence, commitment to service, and stewardship of our future.”  The opportunity will open our students’ eyes, minds and hearts to the world around them, and will make them better human beings. While engaged in international travel, CIS students will be able to understand and appreciate the perspectives and world views of others, engage in open, appropriate and effective interactions across cultures and examine local, global and intercultural issues.

Year 7-9 Camps provide an opportunity for students to learn by doing. Students develop an awareness of their strengths, learn new skills, participate in team-building activities, challenge themselves to take risks, appreciate nature, and develop an increased awareness of environmental concerns.
