This week, the International School of Beijing (ISB)’s High School (HS) have been on experiential education trips, meant to challenge students, as well as encourage them to serve and explore their community. This year, there were so many trips to choose from, including Serve ELOs, Explore ELOs and Challenge ELOs. Below are just some of the examples.
Serve ELOs

Wild Solutions: Students learned about the most pressing social and environmental challenges we face today.
Explore ELOs
A Feast of Expression: Food connects us to our own heritages, and to the environment and earth. On this ELO trip, students learned about food writing through the medium of cooking, baking, visiting fresh markets and farms, and tasting food.
