Expeditions and Trips

We are excited to share in the exploration of our community and city with your child. We believe that learning is richest when it is rooted in firsthand experiences and a feeling of connectedness to the real world.

Throughout the School Year, there are arranged School trips, where your child may travel off site. Trips are carefully planned to support student development and the Curriculum. Real life experiences provide a fun and memorable way to help children to consolidate and apply their learning.

We will always notify you in advance regarding the details of the trip and provide you with a permission form that must be returned to your child’s teacher for them to be allowed to participate .You will always be given advance opportunity to ask questions or exclude your child from participation. Some of our field trips will require additional adult chaperones to provide adequate supervision; in these cases, families will be notified in advance and invited to join us a chaperone.
