We, at Dwarka International School, believe that when in classrooms, students surely learn new ideas, new things, and new concepts each day, but it is actually outside the classroom where children get to truly explore and earn new experiences. As the Chinese philosopher and teacher, Confucius had famously said, “I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand.” The idea of educational trips is based on the concept of experiential learning, and here’s how we believe such excursions can be beneficial to the overall growth of young minds.

On 4th and 5th October, 2023 Dwarka International School had organized an educational trip for class VI students to Yakult factory. Probiotic drinks have gained popularity in recent years due to their potential health benefits. Studies have shown that consuming probiotics may help to boost the immune system, improve digestion, and even reduce the risk of certain diseases. Our students enjoyed the demonstration provided by the factory in the production of probiotic drinks and they learnt about the great health benefits of consuming probiotic drinks.
