LEARNING ACROSS BORDERS
LEARNING ACROSS BORDERS
Learning Across Borders (LAB) is an educational nonprofit with a program focused on students and educators from various countries in the Asia-Pacific region. At LAB, we are focused on promoting four thematic principles: environmental science, project-based learning, student leadership, and cross-cultural navigation. Through this program, we aim to transform educational systems to be student centered, holistic, and hands-on, driven by a network of like-minded educators.

What our Students say
Aubree
“I would like to send a huge “Mahalo” to all the people who worked countless hours to ensure the success of Learning Across Borders (LAB). This summer in Vietnam was truly one that I will remember forever, from the project that I presented to the places we visited to the strong bonds that I have made with other students around the world. I have not only learned more about people from different cultures but myself as well. LAB is life-changing!”
With love, Aubree
