Grade 8 students can choose from three types of Spark experiences designed to inspire growth and engagement. Local Day Experiences allow students to participate in hands-on activities during the school day and return home on their usual schedule. Local Overnight Experiences give students the chance to explore new environments and collaborate with peers on immersive trips within the UAE. International Overnight Experiences focus on sparking compassion through service-learning, helping students develop empathy and a broader understanding of global communities. Each experience is carefully planned to foster curiosity, creativity, confidence, and compassion while keeping students safe and fully supported throughout the week.
Activities are designed to be enjoyed during the school day, allowing students who ride the school bus to travel to and from school on their regular schedule.
These trips take place within the UAE and provide students with extended, immersive learning opportunities beyond the school day.
Our international experiences focus on fostering compassion, with two immersive options that allow students to give back, build empathy, and deepen their understanding of communities beyond their own.
