在 瑞士尚贝缇国际学校, education extends far beyond traditional classroom walls through an annual program of 拟真 cultural trips for secondary students from Grades 9 to 14. These carefully planned journeys across Switzerland and Europe represent a cornerstone of the school's philosophy as a Swiss institution open to the world. This academic year, students embarked on educational adventures to diverse destinations including Swiss cities like Lucerne, Zurich, Basel, and Bellinzona, while also crossing international borders to explore the cultural riches of Bologna and Rome in Italy, Paris in France, and The Hague in the Netherlands. The school demonstrates its commitment to sustainable education by primarily utilizing overland train travel, allowing students to appreciate changing landscapes while minimizing their environmental impact. These trips serve as eagerly anticipated occasions that strengthen student bonds while exposing them to new perspectives, cultural treasures, and ways of thinking that simply cannot be replicated within a traditional academic setting.
Each cultural journey is meticulously designed to provide 体验式 learning opportunities through a rich blend of tailored visits and hands-on activities. Students don't merely observe destinations—they actively engage with them through guided city tours, boat excursions, museum explorations, university visits, nature walks, and zoo expeditions. The programming balances educational depth with enjoyable experiences, incorporating cooking workshops, escape room challenges, and high ropes courses that build teamwork and confidence. In Zurich, students delved into the science of cocoa cultivation and chocolate production at the Lindt Home of Chocolate before exploring sports history at the FIFA Museum. The Basel trip included visits to the world-renowned Vitra Campus and the Kunstmuseum, where students examined fashion's role in art throughout history before creating their own multimedia art projects inspired by various themes and quotes. As one 瑞士尚贝缇国际学校 staff member noted, 'These cultural trips were very enriching. The general knowledge of the people accompanying us really added to the trip.' Reflecting on their Bologna experience, 13th grade International Baccalaureate students shared, 'This trip was a great experience where we discovered Bologna and made memories together as a class.' Students return to campus with renewed academic energy, expanded world knowledge, and a deeper appreciation for global cultures.
