“Learning beyond the classroom builds the bridge between knowledge and experience.”

At Vidya Devi Jindal School, we believe that education extends far beyond textbooks. Real-world experiences offer depth and dimension to learning, allowing our girls to become more aware, responsible, and compassionate global citizens. Educational excursions at VDJS are designed to spark curiosity, encourage independence, and foster a deeper understanding of the world.

Educational Travel at VDJS:

• Subject-Specific Educational Trips are conducted every term, tailored to complement classroom learning.
• Annual Excursions take place at the beginning of the academic year, setting the tone for learning with energy and excitement.
• Cycling and Trekking Expeditions are organised during breaks to instil endurance and team spirit.
• International Excursions during summer and winter breaks broaden global perspectives for selected students.

These experiences shape our students into learners who are observant, empathetic, and well-prepared to thrive in a diverse and interconnected world.

From April 10 to 14, 2025, our students embarked on enriching educational tours across India. These excursions provided firsthand exposure to historical, ecological, and cultural landscapes—transforming academic knowledge into living experiences.

EDUCATIONAL EXCURSION: April 10–14, 2025

Students of Classes VI, V, and IV set off on a journey to Amritsar, Kartarpur, and Jalandhar, guided by Ms. Sperdha Rathore. The young learners explored the spiritual magnificence of the Golden Temple, the symbolic significance of the Kartarpur Corridor, and the cultural essence of Punjab, gaining valuable insight into faith, service, and heritage.

Class VII students, accompanied by Dr. Sameena Ansari, experienced the thrill of nature at Jim Corbett National Park and the scenic tranquillity of Nainital. Their exploration fostered a keen awareness of wildlife conservation and the ecological richness of the Himalayan foothills.

The Class VIII excursion led by Ms. Suman Arora covered Kanatal, Mussoorie, and Dehradun. Students were immersed in natural beauty, explored colonial-era hill stations, and engaged with institutions of learning and research, making this journey a blend of relaxation and intellectual curiosity.

For Class IX, the historical cities of Jhansi, Gwalior, and Orchha unfolded a fascinating narrative of valour, architecture, and legacy. Under the guidance of Ms. Neelam Sharma, students walked through time as they visited forts, palaces, and temples steeped in India’s rich medieval and colonial history.

Class X travelled to the breathtaking hill station of Manali, where Ms. Erina Mehta led the group through snow-clad landscapes and cultural landmarks. The excursion offered a refreshing experience while reinforcing learning about mountain ecosystems, climate, and local customs.

Class XI’s visit to Jaipur and Ranthambore, guided by Ms. Gunjan Kaushik, exposed them to Rajasthan’s regal heritage and the natural diversity of its famed wildlife reserve. The students came away with an appreciation of royal architecture, biodiversity, and traditional art forms.

The students of Class XII, accompanied by Ms. Sunita Verma, embarked on an enlightening journey to Agra, Mathura, and Fatehpur Sikri. Here, they absorbed the architectural brilliance of the Mughal Empire, explored the spiritual aura of Krishna’s birthplace, and engaged with stories of devotion, history, and cultural harmony.

These trips are not just about visiting new places—they are about creating memories, building friendships, taking responsibility, and learning through real-world exposure.
