Week Without Walls at Strothoff International School

The philosophy behind the Week Without Walls is to challenge all students and teachers to leave their classrooms behind and interact with the world on its terms for a week of learning and community-building.

We have implemented the Week Without Walls program to enhance and enrich our curriculum and expose students to various experiences they could never encounter in the classroom.

The dedicated secondary faculty have been working diligently to introduce this program from year one at Strothoff International School with the aim that it will become a core part of our curriculum year after year.

The Week Without Walls programme in June 2010 featured the following learning experiences

Outdoor Adventure: A week of wilderness training in the forest of Western England.

Sailing on Lake Ijsselmeer: A week of sailing training and tours of port cities in the Netherlands.
