Educational Tours & Excursions
At APS academic studies are enriched by a range of short excursions and residential trips. Throughout the school year, there are many exciting opportunities for our students to participate in cultural, sporting and departmental field trips.
We believe that our programme of trips and excursions provides the opportunity for our students to bring to life what they are studying in the classroom and to benefit socially by sharing these exciting experiences with their peers whilst working together.
APS conducts an annual national excursion for classes I to X. Further, we also organize frequent outings to places where the students get exposed to newer experiences. Recent excursions have included skiing trips, adventure trails, and places of historic and religious significance.
Every year, adventure tours are organized, for classes I to X. The students are escorted by the members of faculty. This gives the students a chance to be exposed to newer experiences.
The tours are organized with the help of certified tour operators and complete care is taken with respect to safety of the students and the escorting teachers. Medical aid is available and care is taken that at no time the students are left un-attended or without proper care.
