Highlights from Recent Cultural Field Trips

Exploring South Korea is an essential part of our student experience, and our recent cultural field trips have been a huge success! Here are some highlights that made these trips so memorable:

• Gyeongbokgung Palace Visit: Our trip to Gyeongbokgung Palace allowed students to step back in time and explore the rich history of Korea. Students enjoyed watching the Changing of the Guard Ceremony and were amazed by the grandeur of the ancient architecture.

• Trip to Jeonju Hanok Village: We took a day trip to Jeonju Hanok Village, where students got a chance to stroll through the charming alleys, visit traditional craft shops, and even learn to make bibimbap—one of Korea’s most beloved dishes. The experience gave everyone a deeper appreciation for Korean traditions and history.

• Han River Bike Tour: Our Han River Bike Tour was the perfect blend of exercise, sightseeing, and relaxation. Students cycled along the riverbanks, enjoyed a picnic, and took in the breathtaking views of Seoul’s skyline.
