Preparing Students for the Real World: Experiential Learning | RGS Guildford Dubai

Is your child's education preparing them for life beyond the classroom? Nicholas Radbourne, Deputy Head Teacher at Royal Grammar School Guildford Dubai (RGSGD), joins Helen Farmer on Dubai Eye 103.8 to discuss the transformative power of experiential learning.

Discover how shifting the focus to holistic development helps children build unbreakable confidence, resilience, and adaptability. Experiential Learning Explained: Why real-world trips, community service, and projects matter.
