When you join one of our schools, get ready for an education like no other.
Nord Anglia students have opportunities to join global expeditions, which take place at our dedicated centres in Arusha, Tanzania and Les Martinets, Switzerland. These are open to students across our international schools, and offer a choice of locations, activities, and level of challenge.
- Our expeditions in Tanzania provide opportunities for students to work on sustainability projects, explore Mount Kilimanjaro, follow the footsteps of early man, and more. Nord Anglia students learn about sustainable development and the important role we all play in protecting the planet, while working on local community-based projects.
- Our expeditions in Les Martinets, Switzerland develop perseverance and challenge our students to go beyond their own limits. No matter what expedition they choose, their journey will give them a first-hand taste of alpine life, from treks across the Alps to adrenaline-fuelled snow sports. Physical endurance is combined with breathtaking scenery, as they learn to navigate, develop their independence, work together in teams to reach stunning destinations, and more.
Our trips are meticulously designed to nurture the skills and attributes students need to become successful global citizens in a safe and supportive environment. Whichever expedition your child chooses, they’ll step out of their comfort zone, take the lead, and feel part of a tight-knit team. This will see them grow in confidence, resilience, and self-belief.
OUR SOCIAL PURPOSE
Working with communities to make a difference in peoples’ lives encourages our students to become responsible global citizens ready to make their mark on the world.
Amongst the programmes and activities designed to inspire social purpose is our partnership with UNICEF, which challenges students to address the Sustainable Development Goals while creating high-profile opportunities to speak to UN leaders about the world’s biggest issues.
