School trips can make a major contribution to the acquisition of knowledge and development of skills. Studies of the natural and man-made world, the present and past, Science and Arts, Language and Music can all be enhanced outside the classroom.
Adventure activity and sports skills can form the foundation of life-long interests.
At King William's College we've taken students all over the world, to countries including, Australia, Canada, South Africa, the Far East, Korea, Iceland, Russia, France, Germany, the USA and Japan.

Day one and two; written by Mia Hall (L6) - The day we arrived we first visited the town of Reykjavik.
Over half term 28 students from KWC enjoyed the trip of a lifetime to Cuba. It did not disappoint.

On the 5th of July 2016 the KWC U17 and U16 rugby teams set off for their rugby trip to South Africa.
After having received on the island our Spanish partners earlier this term, on 16th October a group of 20 Spanish students under the supervision of Mrs Ganzo-Pérez and Miss De Andrés, flew off to Spain for a week full of Spanish, fun and churros!!!
Our trip began on Friday 6th of February 2015 when we had to meet at the airport at the unearthly hour of 6.00 in the morning. 21 bleary eyed students complete with three teachers briskly made their way through airport security and stumbled towards Costa to wait for the departure of our plane which would leave at 7.05.
As we descended from the sky and broke through dense Icelandic cloud, we observed Keflavik's apocalyptic, rusty, barren land housing volcano craters with bated breath. The steady, eerie drone of the luxurious Iceland Air plane accompanying this unearthly sight made time stand still – and this was only the beginning.
In October 2013 I visited the following cities in Japan; Tokyo, Hiroshima and Kyoto.
The Classics trip to Greece this spring was amazing! It was lovely and warm, but not too hot or too busy.
There are certain times in life, and I can 100% guarantee that everyone will have felt this at some point, where you would be hit in the face by a donkey than get out of bed; and at 4:45 on a blustery dark February morning I felt this exactly.

Our son has been at King William’s College for two years and has settled in very well with the full support of the boarding staff and teachers, who have demonstrated great kindness and caring. The highly disciplined, but dynamic education system has helped our 15 year old son to adapt well and his confidence has noticeably improved in a short space of time. What's especially pleasing is that not only does the College have an excellent calibre of teaching staff and a strong academic curriculum, but we have been surprised and delighted to discover their excellent music achievements! With such great experience, our second son will also join KWC starting at Lower 5, to have a well rounded education. We cannot be more pleased with our decision to send our sons here all the way from Hong Kong!
