International Tours

19 students with 2 educators visited the Land of the Rising Sun. Japan was an eye-

opener in all respects – the cleanliness, discipline and organization. It was something

one had to see to believe. The highlight was a visit to a school in Osaka and the

interaction with students and teachers. It was undoubtedly an experience of a lifetime!

The visit to US was an equally fascinating and enriching trip. The participants—17

students and 2 teachers—had a memorable time at

various attractions that America has to offer, be it the

bewitching world of Harry Potter and Disney Land or the

out-of-the-world experience at the Kennedy Space

Centre. The group also

visited the dream

universities MIT and

Harvard.
