Field Trips

Regular field trips expand the classroom experience in all subjects. Field trips begin in pre-kindergarten and continue through eighth grade. Most are day trips, but overnight field trips include Nature's Classroom (fourth and fifth grade); Stone Lab at Lake Erie (sixth and seventh grade); and travel to either France or Spain at the conclusion of eighth grade.
