Student Life — World of Experience

World of Experience

Making the World Our Classroom.

Home Student Life World of Experience
Annual International Journeys — Learning Without Borders.

At AWS, learning does not stop at the school gate — or at the country border. Every year, our students travel internationally as official student ambassadors, immersing themselves in the culture, history, technology, and communities of a different country in a way that changes them permanently.

These are not school trips. They are experiences that a classroom could never provide — and that permanently expand what our students believe is possible.

Landmark Journeys

Three experiences that changed everything our students believed was possible.

AWS official student ambassadors in South Korea
AWS AMBASSADORS 2023
01🇰🇷 Seoul · South Korea

Official Student Ambassadors

In 2023, our Falcons were granted exclusive first-access entry to South Korea's world-class movement facilities — spaces ordinarily reserved for professional athletes and national programme participants. Working alongside Korean movement experts, students experienced a standard of physical education and performance training most adults never encounter.

  • Gyeongbokgung Palace & the DMZ — history in person
  • Technology & innovation hub tours
  • Cultural exchange workshops with local students
  • Kimchi & bibimbap cooked with host families
AWS Falcons in Dubai — world record and Burj Khalifa
WORLD RECORD EDMENTUM
02🇦🇪 Dubai · United Arab Emirates

World Record · Business Dinner · Burj Khalifa

AWS Falcons travelled to Dubai to meet Jemmy Candy, CEO of Edmentum, in recognition of achieving a world record on the Exact Path mastery journey. They joined the Edmentum leadership team for a business dinner as honoured guests — then received a surprise VIP pass to the 124th floor of the Burj Khalifa.

  • World record on the Edmentum Exact Path platform
  • Business dinner with the global leadership team
  • Professional conversations, treated as equals
  • VIP access to the world's tallest building

YOUNG CHANGE MAKER LONDON
03🇬🇧 London · United Kingdom

British Parliament — Young Change Maker Award

In one of the proudest moments in AWS's history, our students were invited to the British Parliament in London to receive the Young Change Maker Award. It is not given to students who show potential — it is given to those who have already demonstrated impact. The world beginning to notice what we have always known.

  • Invited into one of the world’s most historic institutions
  • International recognition of character & impact
  • Debut speeches before global entrepreneurs
  • Represented school, family & generation with poise

What AWS Ambassadors Do

An education that a classroom could never provide.

When AWS students travel internationally, they do so as official student ambassadors — not tourists. Every journey is designed to combine world-class access, cultural depth, and the kind of recognition that expands what a young person believes is possible.

Exclusive Access

Facilities, institutions, and leadership spaces that are ordinarily reserved for professionals — opened up to our Falcons because of who they are and what they have achieved.

Cultural Immersion

Local hosts, historic sites, language, food, workshops, and genuine friendships across countries and cultures — the kind of understanding that only comes from showing up in person.

Global Recognition

World records, parliamentary invitations, awards, and seats at the table with global leaders — not as visitors, but as honoured guests and genuine equals.

What This Means for a Falcon

Not a school trip — an education no classroom can provide.

Standing at the top of the Burj Khalifa. Walking into the British Parliament. Training alongside Korean movement experts. Sitting across the table from the CEO of a global education company as a genuine equal.

These are not experiences we hope our students might one day have. They are experiences our students have already had — because every year, AWS creates the opportunities, builds the partnerships, and prepares the Falcons who step up to live them.

The world beginning to notice what we have always known about our students.

World of Experience FAQs

Every AWS student is part of the World of Experience. Specific journeys are organised by grade band, programme, and readiness — and participation is woven into the broader AWS learning journey rather than treated as an optional extra.

These are not school trips. AWS students travel as official student ambassadors, with exclusive access to facilities, institutions, and leadership spaces ordinarily reserved for professionals. Every journey is designed to build substance, not just memories.

AWS students have received the Young Change Maker Award at the British Parliament in London, achieved a world record on the Edmentum Exact Path mastery journey, and been invited to business dinners with global leaders including the CEO of Edmentum. These recognitions are earned, not awarded for attendance.

Directly. The confidence to speak at Parliament is built every Thursday on Xpress Day. The substance to hold a business dinner is built every Friday on Entrepreneurship Day. The academic achievement behind the Edmentum world record is built every Monday and Tuesday. The World of Experience is the moment the rest of the AWS week shows itself to the world.
