School Trips
Toggle Language English to French
As an international school in Paris, it is important to us to give our students the opportunity to explore Paris, France and other countries. As such, we organise three different kinds of trips for our students.
OVERNIGHT SCHOOL TRIPS
As an international school, we welcome many new students to our international school in Paris in September. In order to help them transition into the school and better integrate, once a year, our students from Grade 1 to DP 2 go on school trips. This trip allows students the time to bond with their classmates and teachers while exploring a region they may not otherwise get to visit. They spend the week doing sports and cultural activities and making new friends. Past destinations have included the Normandy D-Day beaches, Lake Annecy, and the port city of Saint-Malo.
- Grade 1 and Grade 4 - go for an overnight trip or a three-day trip
- Grade 5 - Grade 10 - go for a four-five-day trip
- Grade 11 - go for a three-day DP orientation trip
Our Kindergarten students participate in a 3-day farm trip at the end of the school year.
Our Grade 1 and 2 went on an amazing three-day School trip. On the first day, they went to a beach called Stella Plage where the children enjoyed collecting seashells and exploring the dunes. They went to the centre Equestre de Touquet Paris-Plage. They brushed and saddled the ponies and then got to ride them! They visited an apple orchard and learned about the life cycle of an apple and then were able to pick our own apples. Children tasted two varieties to decide which one they liked the most. There was a 'boum' dance party with all of the children in primary.
The children really enjoyed living together for the three days and it was a great way for all of us to get to know each other and learn outside of the classroom.
Our Grades 9, 10, and 11 went for their school trip to St Malo. The trip was filled with exciting outdoor activities like cycling, rock climbing, orienteering, hiking, swimming, etc.
Residential trips like this, where students can experience and learn more about the world around them outside of the classroom, are an integral part of an IB education.
INTERNATIONAL TRIPS
As part of the Globeducate network of schools, our students have many opportunities to participate in Globeducate events at our international sister schools in Europe. Every year, we send students to the music festival, academic olympics, olympic games and model UN conference. Past destinations have included Spain, Italy and Portugal. Students on these trips typically enjoy added cultural exposure by staying with host families.
Additionally, those international high school students active in Model UN typically attend one conference in Europe and one further abroad. In past years we have sent students to Philadelphia, Boston, Cambridge, Beijing, New York, Prague and Tangiers.
