Outdoor Education
Grades 9 & 10

Grade 9 adventure programme
Grade 9 students are offered a variety of challenging expeditions during the March/April and June/July holidays. These 7-19 day expeditions, run by our in-country partners, will not be with their mentor group, but with other Grade 9 students from both campuses. Destinations include India, Indonesia, Maldives, Malaysia, Thailand, Australia, and Japan, and activities include trekking, rafting, sailing, mountain biking, and kayaking. Locations can be remote, accommodation is often basic and the food will reflect the local culture of the host country.
  

Grade 10 adventure programme
Students who join UWCSEA in Grade 10 or who missed their G9 Outdoor Education Expeditions are expected to participate in a Grade 10 expedition as a key part of the UWCSEA Learning Programme and High School diploma. These expeditions, which take place during the March/April and June/July school breaks, include students from both Dover and East Campuses and offer a choice of destinations with varying outdoor challenges and durations. The expeditions help new students deepen friendships, build a sense of belonging, and cultivate key skills and mindsets that prepare them for Project Week which takes place in May of Grade 11.

For returning Grade 10 students who have already gone on one of the adventure expeditions in grade 9, if spots become available in any of the grade 9 and new G10 adventure expeditions, they are able to apply to join the expedition either during the March/April or June/July holiday.
