Beijing is a city that is undergoing rapid changes. In just a few decades, the city has undergone changes that took centuries in some European cities. Our High School students went to check out the hutongs, Beijing's famous mazes of ancient streets, to measure the impacts of gentrification and economic development on local communities.

The trip is one way that our school offers real-world, practical learning opportunities that reach far beyond the classroom walls. You can read more about how and why trips like these benefit students on our Future of Learning blog.
