Bowen Horizons
Bowen Horizons offers Sec 2 and 3 students overseas trips to explore Asian cultures and build global skills.
Overseas Learning Journeys and Cultural Immersion Programmes

The Bowen Horizons Programme provides authentic experiential learning experiences for our students through carefully planned overseas learning journeys and cultural immersion programmes with our overseas partners.
The Bowen Horizons trips cater to Sec 2 and 3 students and seek to:
Deepen the 21st Century Competencies (21CC) of global awareness, cross-cultural skills, adaptive thinking and communication skills – through authentic learning that is interdisciplinary and provides for real world application of knowledge and skills;
Expose them to rich heritage, cultures and strengths of countries in Asia, with a focus on ASEAN countries;
Strengthen their commitment and rootedness to Singapore as Bowenians appreciate the unity and diversity of a multicultural society; and
Enable them to form friendships and networks with international peers while sensitising them to Singapore’s place in the world.
Students who are interested in the trips can register their interest when the application is open. Successful applicants will be selected for only one trip during their Bowen years so as to allow more students the opportunities to participate.
Financing Information :
Students who are Singapore Citizens will be eligible for at least 50% subsidy for the trip cost. Students on Financial Assistance will receive additional support.
Students who are Singapore Permanent Residents and International Students will pay the full trip cost.
