Winter break trip to China for upper school students

Seventeen upper school students traveled to China for a winter break adventure that included cultural and language immersion experiences in a variety of contexts. Among the highlights from the Feb. 12-22 trip: students hiked in the area of Huangshan (Yellow Mountain), where they experienced a beautiful snowfall. Later, they visited a prestigious high school in Taizhou, where they met new friends and discovered differences in their high school experiences. Finally, they enjoyed Shanghai and toured the Bund. Students applied their Mandarin language skills throughout the trip and they were cared for by Chinese teachers Xiaohong Teng and Xiuying Huang, and world languages department chair James Monk.
The mix of city tours, student interactions and nature visits – Yellow Mountain is a UNESCO World Heritage Site – provided a deep and meaningful engagement with Chinese culture and language. The students who attended: Henry Berler ’25, R.J. Donaldson ’25, Jack He ’25, David Luan ’25, Luci Pardo Muñoz Ledo ’25, Solon Sun ’25, Sindhu Talluri ’25, Sasha Zack ’25, Aaliyah Asghar ’26, Siena Claure ’26, Matias Dovarganes ’26, Beatrice Hernandez ’26, Tyler Marcus ’26, William Hyde ’27, Michael Kong ’28, Christian Sayer ’28, Lucas Stone Perez ’28.
