“The best education you will ever get is by travelling. Nothing teaches you more than exploring the world and accumulating experiences.”
Educational excursion is an innovative type of learning. It promotes experiential learning, the prime goal of NEP 2020. Embarking on a thrilling journey into the wilderness, a group of 87 students of Class XII with 8 teachers set off on an unforgettable adventure to Jim Corbett National Park from 30 May 2023 to 1 June 2023. The educational excursion was organised by EduXperiential that provided true camping experience to all. Located deep in the heart of nature, this camp provided an immersive experience where students had the opportunity to explore the beauty of the natural world, develop new skills, and forge lasting friendships.
