grade 8 experiential trip
A transformative journey of service, discovery and faith — the capstone of the GIU Middle School experience.
The Grade 8 Experiential Trip is one of the most anticipated and transformative experiences in the GIU journey. Students travel as ambassadors for their school, community and faith — deepening their Christian identity, cultural understanding and sense of global citizenship.
Over the course of the trip, students engage in service learning, explore new environments, connect with peers from different backgrounds and create memories that will last a lifetime. The trip is the culmination of years of character formation, academic growth and values education at GIU.
“The Grade 8 trip showed me what it means to serve with purpose. I came back with a deeper faith, stronger friendships and a clearer sense of who I want to become.”
— GIU International Christian Academy Graduate
