Our Middle School Term Project Trip to South Korea was an incredible exploration of Seoul, Busan, and Gyeongju.

Our Seoul adventures started with visiting Gyeongbokgung Palace, wandering through the historic streets of Bukchon Hanok Village, and experiencing breathtaking views from N Seoul Tower. Then, our group traveled to Busan, where students experienced a different side of Korea through its coastal views, bustling streets, and unique local culture.

Next, our Bears were off to Gyeongju, the ancient capital of the Silla Kingdom. Exploring historic sites and learning about Korea's rich history gave students a chance to experience a very different side of the country from the modern cities they visited.

What an amazing, memorable journey! Huge thanks to Mr. Chen for leading the trip alongside super chaperones Ms. Weathers, Ms. Tilly, Mr. Rappelfeld, and Mr. Josephson!
