The students and teachers are considered to be multicultural, though with a bias towards Tanzania and other African countries, which allows students to increase their understanding of and respect for each others’ cultures as well as their own.
Our school offer the opportunity for all, but especially young people for education by personal development, fostering friendship and bringing about a better understanding of others and the world around them’. Or just three words, education through travel.
Throughout the experiential learning process, the learner is actively engaged in posing questions, investigating, being curious, solving problems, assuming responsibility and constructing meaning, and are challenged to take initiative and make decisions.
The experiences should allow the students to share and reflect on their observations with their peers and teachers.
