Outdoor Education Programmes
Outward Bound is an International Outdoor Education Organisation that has been teaching leadership around the world for more than 75 years. It serves over 250,000 participants each year in over 30 countries worldwide.
Outward Bound Vietnam (OBV) is the only organisation licensed by Outward Bound International to operate and conduct Outward Bound courses in Vietnam since November 2016. It is at the forefront of experiential adventure-based learning in Vietnam.
Singapore International School (SIS) is pleased to integrate the OBV Programme into our curriculum for Year 4 upwards students to enhance the development of the whole child. Specifically, students will have a greater understanding of working as a team through tackling various physical challenges and consider the different needs, individual learning styles and cultural factors when working in a team. The OBV Programme will also contribute to students’ ability to be independent, responsible, accountable as well as enhance their confidence and leadership qualities. During the OBV Programme, students will be participating in various team building activities under the instruction and supervision of well-trained OBV instructors and SIS staff.
