Amazing to have Quality Schools International (QSI) come to INVINCIBLE for their 3rd time. Previously known as Week Without Walls it’s now referred to as Experiential Learning. Experiential Learning is an opportunity for students to learn something outside of the classroom. Other trips included cultural trips to Poland, Thailand or learning a skill like photography. Students also have to complete a unit alongside the activity for credit. One week of NON stop BJJ at Invincible Shekou!
