The World Is Your Classroom
Futurum study tours take students out of the classroom and into the places where the work is actually done — university labs, technology companies and international competitions across five countries so far — with more destinations in planning.
Travelling from six campuses in Singapore and one in Kuala Lumpur
Grades Open Doors
The World Raises the Bar
What a child asks of themselves is shaped by what they have seen.
Builds to Be Marked
A student who has only ever built for a teacher works for the grade. The ceiling is the rubric.
Builds for the Problem
A student who has stood in a working lab, or presented to a room that owes them nothing, starts working for the real thing.
That shift does not happen from a textbook. And it is the same habit the curriculum teaches at home, one ring wider — notice a problem, build the answer, defend it to someone who did not set it.
Five Countries So Far
More in Planning
Shanghai · Hangzhou · ShenzhenChina
The fastest-moving hardware ecosystem in the world, and the easiest place to show a student that a prototype and a product are different things. Campus visits, technology companies, and workshops run in Mandarin and English.
See the Shanghai–Hangzhou camp →
University labs · technology companiesUnited States
Where the research happens before it becomes a product. Students sit in on university work, meet the people doing it, and come back with a clearer idea of what studying this actually looks like.
Universities · research institutionsUnited Kingdom
Centuries-old institutions doing very current work. The contrast is the lesson: students see that the newest ideas are often argued out in the oldest rooms.
Robotics · precision engineeringJapan
Where robotics is a craft rather than a novelty. Students meet a culture that treats getting something exactly right as the interesting part — which is the hardest habit to teach and the easiest to catch.
Kuala LumpurMalaysia
Our own campus abroad, and the shortest step out of Singapore a family can take. A first journey for younger students, and the one where parents most often travel too.
Where Next
More destinations are in planning, and families already with us hear first. Tell us your child’s age and what they are into, and we will tell you which of the next journeys fits.

The Shanghai–Hangzhou Innovation Camp
Our flagship China journey has a full page of its own — the cities, the visits and the day-by-day itinerary, exactly as families see it before they sign up.
Explore the Camp →Six Kinds of Day
City Immersions
Several days inside a working technology hub rather than a hotel and a coach. Students see the pace of the place — how quickly an idea becomes a thing you can hold — which is the part no classroom reproduces.
University & Lab Visits
Time alongside researchers and students at universities abroad: real equipment, real work in progress, and the chance to ask the questions a prospectus does not answer.
Innovation Camps
Residential programmes built around one real problem. Students work in teams, to a deadline, and finish with a prototype they made rather than a certificate they collected.
Technology Company Visits
Inside the buildings where the work happens. Students meet engineers, sit through briefings meant for adults, and see what the job is actually like before they have to choose one.
International Competition
Some journeys are built around a competition abroad: a fixed brief, a real deadline, and judges who have never met your child and do not know our name. What comes back belongs to the student.
Peers & Mentors
Structured sessions with students from other countries and with the professionals hosting us. The network a child builds on a journey outlasts the journey.
Something That Outlasts the Trip
A Project, Not a Photo Album
Every journey produces work — a prototype, a proposal, a piece of research — that exists after the flight home and can be shown to someone who was not there.
A Wider Frame of Reference
A student who has watched engineers argue about a design in another country holds their own work to a different standard. This is the part parents notice first.
Independence They Earned
Navigating an unfamiliar city, working with strangers, presenting in a second language. None of it is on a syllabus and all of it shows up afterwards.
Before, During and After
Before — Preparation, Not Packing
Students arrive at the airport already briefed on where they are going and what they are meant to build. Parents get the itinerary, the supervision arrangements and the contact chain in writing.
During — Supervised, and Busy
Futurum teachers travel with every group. Days are structured, evenings are accounted for, and families receive regular updates while the journey is running.
After — The Work Continues
The project comes back into class. What a student started abroad becomes part of the record they build here — and the reason the next journey is easier to say yes to.
Common Questions
Which countries do Futurum study tours visit?
To date: the United States, China, Japan, the United Kingdom and Malaysia, with more destinations in planning. Journeys are announced per programme rather than run to a fixed annual calendar — message us to hear what is next.
What ages can join a study tour?
Journeys are built for different age bands, and younger students travel on the shorter regional programmes. Tell us your child’s age and we will say which journeys suit them.
Do teachers travel with the group?
Yes — Futurum teachers travel with every group, and families receive updates while the journey is running.
Does my child need to be an existing student?
No. Journeys are open to students who have not enrolled in a regular programme, though most travellers are already studying with us.
How does a study tour relate to the regular curriculum?
It is the same habit at a wider radius — notice a problem, build the answer, defend it to someone who did not set it. Work started on a journey comes back into class afterwards.
How do I find out about the next journey?
Message us on WhatsApp or book a free trial class and ask — journeys are announced to families first.
