LevelUp Young Leaders

Expeditions abroad for ages 13–18

A week abroad, and a project to present at the end

Students travel with their school, or in a cohort led by our specialist educators. In small teams, they see how another country solves real problems, then make, test and present something.

First departure: Japan, January 2027, for design, craft and technology

Five students in school uniform take notes and photographs on a waterfront promenade at sunset, with a city skyline behind them.

Who looks after them

Educators stay close by throughout, and parents don't travel. Before anyone books, a counsellor sends you the whole plan on WhatsApp, so you can see who is responsible at every stage.

How an Expedition works

See how the world solves problems

Students work in small teams, and every trip has three parts.

  1. Four students and two adults study a wooden model of a city in a gallery, taking notes and photos.
    01

    Learn

    See how a place solves real problems.

  2. Students build a cardboard model of a tree-lined street in a workshop while an educator looks on.
    02

    Do

    Make, test and present something.

  3. A student explains her cardboard building models to an educator while two classmates listen.
    03

    Become

    Come home with a portfolio of what they made and presented, and one thing to try at home.

Five teenagers gather round a table of cardboard building models and drawings in a bright studio, one explaining her idea.

What a week abroad gives a teenager

  1. 01

    Perspective

    Seeing how another country solves the same problems changes how a child sees their own.

  2. 02

    Independence

    A week away from home, with educators close by, builds self-reliance and confidence.

  3. 03

    Collaboration

    Working in small teams with new people, in a new place, is practice for every workplace.

  4. 04

    Direction

    Meeting people who do real work, from designers to engineers, shows them what they might do next.

Who can go?

Students aged 13 to 18, with their school or in a cohort led by our specialist educators.

When is the first trip?

Japan, in January 2027. Singapore and Malaysia follow later in 2027.

Does January clash with board exams?

It can: Class 10 and 12 have pre-boards around then. Tell us your child's class when you ask, and we'll say plainly whether this trip suits them or a later one does.

Do parents travel too?

No. Students travel with their school or with our specialist educators.

Who looks after the students?

Educators stay close by throughout. Before anyone books, you receive the supervision plan, the accommodation, the transport and the emergency contacts, so you can see who is responsible at every stage.

How much does it cost?

We don't list prices on this page. Ask about Expeditions, and a counsellor sends the detailed programme, what's included and the booking terms on WhatsApp.

Can our school send a group?

Yes. Choose "I represent a school" when you ask, and tell us the school's name and how many students would go. A counsellor then sends the detailed programme on WhatsApp.

What do students bring home?

A portfolio of what they made and presented, and one thing to try at home.
