Chinthe Expeditions Update
Our Grade 10, 11, and 12 students will be going on our first Chinthe Expedition to Chiang Mai straight after the winter break. They will leave on Monday, January 8 and return on Friday, January 12.
Early week, our Grade 10, 11, and 12 parents will receive their child’s finalized itinerary and a summary of all expedition details. We will be meeting with all Grade 10, 11, and 12 students next week to go over expectations and what they will need to pack.
Other grade levels will receive this information after the winter break
In the meantime, you can refer to the information you received with the Parent Information and Authorisation Request Form that parents have already signed. And if you have any questions about anything to do with your child’s grade level Chinthe Expedition, please do not hesitate to contact Mr. Simpson or the Secondary School Office.
All of this year’s Chinthe Expeditions will be facilitated by the Traidhos Visiting Schools Program (VSP) in Chiang Mai. We partnered with VSP before the pandemic in providing Week Without Walls experiences for our students. We are very pleased to be working with them again.
VSP will work with ISY teachers to create, support, and supervise rich service, cultural, and adventure experiences for our students. Please click on the following links to get a sense of the fantastic location and facilities that we have access to in partnership with VSP:
