Over the past two weeks, 11 of our Bard High School students, led by Apple Laoshi, embarked on an unforgettable journey to Yunnan Province in southwestern China! 🌄

Our students dove deep into the local customs, interacting with ethnic minority communities and learning about their rich traditions and historic tea culture. 🍵✨ From tasting authentic local cuisine to getting hands-on experience with dragon and lion dancing, every day was an adventure!

While a two-week international trip can be exhausting, the incredible, novel experiences made every second worth it. Check out the video to see all the highlights from this amazing journey! 🎥

College Decision Day 🎓✨
All the late nights, hard work, and prayers led to this moment. So proud of everyone for choosing their path and stepping into a new chapter different schools, same goal: success. The future is ours, and this is just the beginning 💫

Today was completely steeped in tea culture! 🍵✨ We explored the historic Southern Silk Road and visited a local tea factory. The kids got hands-on, learning the very first steps of transforming fresh leaves into dried tea. 🍃

We also wandered through lush tea gardens, where the students even got to pick fresh tea buds straight from the bushes! Of course, we had a tasting session, and everyone loved trying the freshly brewed samples. 😋

To top it all off? An authentic, mouth-watering hotpot feast tonight! 🍲🌶️ The perfect end to a perfect day.
