Ten of our students and 13 students from Lycee Sud Medoc, along with their teacher escorts, participated in a student exchange programme as a part of collaboration between the two schools.

Accordingly, the delegation from SBA went to the Lycee Sud Medoc School, a school situated in St. Aubin de Medoc, located in south western France near Bordeaux, from the 11th to the 28th of December, 2016.  The students attended Math workshops and an Economics lecture, which gave our students a glimpse of the French education system.

Students extensively toured France, visiting places including the Dassault Aviation Factory and Saint. Catholic church, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Further, they visited a vineyard to learn the way in which vine is grown and processed in France. They also caught a glimpse of ethnic French shopping on Saint Catherine Street, which is a shopping hub.

In Paris, our students spent a day in Disneyland and had a pleasurable time on the high velocity rides, and the some of the relatively unhurried rides. They saw countless shows put on by different Disney characters and also witnessed the famous fireworks show. They also went around the city, sightseeing, and saw famous historical and tourist attractions including The Victory Gate, La Louvre, The Eiffel Tower, and the Palace of Versailles.

In return, the French delegation visited SBA from the 15th to the 24th of February 2017. They attended various workshops like yoga, art, Indian music, Western music, Hindi, French and Math. They also visited some of the famous places in and around Bangalore including the Mysore palace, the Bangalore palace, Tipu Sultan’s summer palace, the Iskon temple, Commercial Street and the Safira Plaza to learn more about our history and culture. In addition, to learn more about Indian families, they visited the house of one of the students.
