Trips and Excursions

We actively encourage our students to stretch their learning beyond the confines of the classroom. Excursions and residential trips provide the perfect opportunity for students to expand their horizons. Each trip is carefully chosen to ensure the very best learning outcomes – whether it is to support the learning taking place within curriculum lessons, to provide service to our local and global community or to experience new and adventurous activities.

Our field trips allow students to experience the many wonderful opportunities available within Dubai and the UAE. Field trips could include visits to local places of interest and landmarks to learn about the heritage and culture of the UAE, specialist day tours which complement the learning in our units of inquiry in PYP, attending workshops on topics such as leadership and psychology or to explore innovative spaces that expand our students’ perception of science and design.

In-country residential camps is an important event on our calendar and take place annually for students in Grades 3 to 10. Leadership skills and team building are at the forefront of the learning journey.

Our secondary students participate in academic trips such as Model United Nations, which are held both locally and internationally, preparing students for careers in International Relations, politics and debate. For the risk-takers, our annual ski trip allows students to experience adrenalin sports, learn new skills and understand new and different cultures. An integral part of all our IB programmes is CASL (Creativity, Action, Service and Learning). To complement the CASL Program, we run an annual CASL trip in partnership with Camp International to locations such as China, Kenya and Sri Lanka where students work with camp directors to help the surrounding communities and their environments.

Bi-annually we run a sports tour for our gifted and talented sports team players. To date, we have toured England and Singapore, playing a series of fixtures in sports such as Netball and Football against fellow international schools whilst immersing ourselves in local cultures.

Whatever your child’s passion, they will get the opportunity to explore it further here at Jumeira Baccalaureate School as we strive to find new opportunities for experiential learning.

All our trips are planned in line with international best practice and with quality assured travel partners and tour operators.
