Overseas Programs

New Zealand Study Tour: All JHS 3rd grade students

In New Zealand, students will experience school life at our sister school, Rangitoto College, enjoy a homestay with students from Rangitoto College, and a farmstay in a rich natural environment. The students will communicate with each other in English, understand the differences between their cultures and values, and find the good in each other. By using their English ability and experiencing different cultures, students will not only grow mentally, but will also have an opportunity to think about their future career paths.

Students choose from five different courses in Australia, Korea, Vietnam, Malaysia, and Okinawa for a 6-day research trip. In the three Asian countries, participants will experience homestays and cultural exchange with local schools, where they will meet other high school students who are also studying English. In Okinawa, students will learn about the sea and peace through overnight stays and interactions with local people. After the trip, each student will write a “travelogue” and an “exploration report” and present their findings at a presentation.
