Field Trips offer valuable learning experiences - Experiences that are central to BHIS' educational mission, as we believe that schools must not only provide economically useful skills in numeracy and literacy, but also to produce civilised young persons who can appreciate the arts and culture.
Our International Tours offer students the unique opportunity to broaden their global perspectives and immerse themselves in diverse cultures, history, and cutting-edge innovations. Each trip is meticulously planned to enrich their academic journey and foster personal growth. Here’s a glimpse of the exciting international destinations our students explore:
Our students had an unforgettable experience visiting some of the most iconic locations in the United States. They were awe-struck as they explored the spacecrafts up-close at the Kennedy Space Center in Orlando, Florida. In addition to their space exploration adventure, the trip also featured visits to major landmarks such as the Statue of Liberty, Times Square, and Madame Tussauds in New York. Students toured prestigious academic institutions like the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Harvard University in Boston, where they gained insight into cutting-edge research and innovation. And of course, no trip to the U.S. would be complete without a visit to Disney World, where students enjoyed hours of fun and excitement.
A trip to Japan takes students on an unforgettable journey through a fascinating blend of tradition and modernity. They explore historic temples, the vibrant streets of Tokyo, and cutting-edge technology hubs. Students also immerse themselves in Japanese culture, from learning about traditional tea ceremonies to experiencing Japan's renowned robotics and innovation industries.
In Europe, students explore some of the world’s most famous cities, including Paris, Switzerland, and Italy. They experience art, history, and architecture firsthand, visiting landmarks like the Eiffel Tower, the Colosseum, and Louvre. Additionally, they engage with local cultures, exploring Europe’s rich heritage, from classical art to modern European politics and society.
These international trips are designed not only to enhance academic learning but also to foster cultural awareness, independence, and global citizenship.
Field trips are an essential extension of classroom learning, and our junior school students from Nursery to Grade 4 actively participate in visits to various significant places within the city. These excursions are thoughtfully curated to provide hands-on experiences that enrich their understanding of the world around them.
For instance, a visit to the Museum of Natural History allows students to explore fascinating exhibits on biodiversity, prehistoric life, and environmental conservation. At the Regional Science Center, interactive exhibits and experiments spark curiosity, nurturing a love for discovery and innovation.
A trip to the supermarket helps students learn about budgeting, pricing, and the concept of supply and demand. Similarly, a visit to the fire station brings lessons on safety to life, as students observe firefighters’ equipment, learn about fire prevention, and understand the importance of community helpers.
Our visit to the dog shelter instills compassion and responsibility, connecting with lessons on empathy and environmental care. These trips not only broaden students' horizons but also develop their observational and critical thinking skills. Through these immersive experiences, we aim to provide a practical dimension to classroom learning, fostering holistic development and lifelong curiosity.
Nearly 250 Senior School students from Grades 5 to 12 embarked on transformative field trips that connected them with nature, wildlife, and sustainable living. These experiences not only broadened their perspectives but also nurtured a deeper understanding of the environment and the importance of self-reliance.
Grade 8 explored the Satpura forest on an adventurous trip to Reni Pani Jungle Lodge, where they gained insights into wildlife conservation and the need for coexistence with nature. Grade 7 visited the Kalp Vriksha Integrated Organic Farm in Vidisha, diving into organic farming principles, sustainability, and nutrition through hands-on experiences. Grade 6 students camped at Kalakund, near Mhow, where they developed survival skills and enjoyed the challenges and joys of outdoor life. Grade 5 engaged with nature at Chandravan Permafarm in Orchha, learning about the vital role of protecting our natural resources.
Finally, Grades 9-12 participated in an exhilarating IAYP trip to Rishikesh, filled with mentally and physically challenging activities that fostered resilience and teamwork. These immersive field trips allowed our students to leave the classroom and experience life lessons in nature—lessons they will carry with them for years to come.
