Testimonials

"The Thailand expedition was a great step for the Year 8 students to make before starting D of E skills based challenges. It had a great range of tasks for them to participate in a very different climate and culture to what they were used to."

"It was a great opportunity for staff and students to get to know each other in a new setting. We got to participate in activities together and help each other out which of course will improve our relationship back at College. It was great for the students to see that we can survive outside of the classroom."

"Our trip to Tanzania in November 2009 with World Challenge was the first trip of its kind that the American International School in Abu Dhabi has ever participated in. As the school leader, I found it to be a very rewarding experience – World Challenge did an amazing job of helping us plan our in-country activities, ensuring the preparedness of the challengers, and keeping us safe while abroad. Our expedition leader was well trained and equipped to guide us through any obstacle we encountered. I saw a huge transformation in the students – every one of them had the chance to be a successful leader on this journey. They came back with tremendous confidence in their abilities and the inspiration to explore new parts of the world. I’d highly recommend the program to any school"

"It surely feels great to develop my leadership qualities, faced my fear of heights and gained a lot of self confidence in this whole expedition. Malaysia was an amazing experience I've encountered so far and I am very thankful for being one of the challengers that took part of the journey"

"Others should take part in an expedition to experience a once in a life time opportunity facing a lot of difficult tasks and challenges outside of their comfort zone"
