Beyond the Classroom: Conduct Field Research with Experts
Each year, over 300 high school students participate in ARI's 6- to 10-day field research programs, offered in the fall, spring, and summer, where they investigate real-world global challenges through on-the-ground interviews, research and community-based projects.

Dedicated to Excellence
Our Mission: Driving Innovation, Impacting the World
At ARI, our core mission is to guide high school students in conducting impactful research that addresses critical global issues. Our focus is on experiential learning—empowering students to collaborate with experts, NGOs who are our partners, engage with communities, and develop insights that inspire action.
60 field research trips a year
Each year, we organize over 60 field research trips across diverse regions, each centered on a pressing global issue. Topics include climate resilience, access to clean water, education equity, urban poverty, gender equality, public health, and refugee displacement. On some trips, students conduct interviews with individuals and families, gaining firsthand insight into the human stories behind social issues they read about. These immersive experiences challenge students to think critically, act empathetically, and engage meaningfully with the world around them.
Collaborative NGOs & Partnerships
Over the past 10 years, ARI has built strong partnerships with NGOs and non-profit organizations across Asia, Africa, and Latin America. During each field research program, students don’t just observe, they engage directly with our NGO partners through interviews, site visits, and collaborative workshops. These conversations allow students to ask questions, gain local perspectives, and better understand the complexities behind the issues they’re studying. It’s not just research—it’s a dialogue that builds empathy, insight, and global awareness.
Students share their insights
Guided by experienced mentors, they learn how to ask the right questions, gather data responsibly, and analyze their findings. At the end of each program, students synthesize their insights into thoughtful research articles, which are published online.

I initially planned to study CSR in Chinese factories in Ethiopia, but after engaging with the local Chinese community, I realized that cultural integration was the deeper issue. If Chinese people integrate better, local acceptance of their businesses may improve as well.

I was initially drawn to this research project on gender equality. After getting involved, I truly gained a lot from the experience—I became the head of the media team, leading others in conducting interviews, organizing content, and writing press releases.

I’m eager to spend ten days stepping out of my comfort zone and exploring a completely different part of the world — immersing myself in unfamiliar cultures, connecting with people from diverse backgrounds, and embracing challenges that will broaden my perspective and help me grow both personally and intellectually.

The reason I create this kind of educational content is to do my best to break the stereotypes and misunderstandings people have about these “anime dream-chasers.” Even though the views aren’t particularly high, I believe that if just a few more people watch it, it might help improve public understanding and empathy toward their experiences.

I conducted interviews with local Chinese residents and Brazilian scholars and helped organize the recordings. Through this, I gained insight into the challenges Chinese communities face integrating into society in Brazil and beyond. It motivated me and solidified my decision to pursue a future in international relations or political science.

During the program, I was mainly responsible for documenting interviews and turning them into English articles. From my teammates and mentors at Kenys I gained valuable skills in investigative journalism and writing, as well as a deep appreciation for rigorous and persistent research
