Student Life
Excursions
We consider our excursions and day trips essential parts of a classical education that seeks to engage all the senses in the learning process. Excursions are carefully chosen to meet the needs of the student at each grade level, while complementing the curriculum. These experiences not only support the students’ areas of study, but provide for great memories with their classmates.
Please note the list below contains trips traditionally enjoyed by students. Some recent trips have been impacted by the COVID 19 pandemic as we seek to protect our students’ health and safety.
