Field Trips & Travel
Learning is an embodied exercise.
By getting outside the classroom and exploring and discovering the world around us, we open ourselves up to deeper understanding and greater wonder.
Lower School
Field Trips
Whether its travelling to the St. Louis Zoo, the Botanical Garden, the Art Museum, the Cahokia Mounds, among many others—we value having our lower school students experience the hands on learning that comes from getting outside the classroom and making use of the many opportunities available to us here in St. Louis.
Williamsburg
Capstone Trip
At the end of their sixth grade year, students travel to Williamsburg and Monticello to visit some of the most significant sites of United States history. The trip offers a unique opportunity for our students to see history in tangible and concrete ways—recognizing that what they’ve learned in class are not mere facts, but part of the fabric of reality that has shaped the world they live in today.
Upper School
Field Trips
Upper school field trips offer opportunities for students to enrich their classroom learning and discover its application to the world around us. Whether it’s travelling to Jefferson City to propose legislation, engaging in a mock trial in the main courtroom of the Eagleton Courthouse in downtown St. Louis, or hearing from a Holocaust survivor at the St. Louis Holocaust Museum—each experience designed to help our students see the real-world implications of their classroom learning.
Europe Capstone Trip
Every other year our juniors and seniors travel to Europe to experience first-hand the world they have studied in history and literature over the years. Our students take all that the learned in the classroom and the rich western heritage they have received and trace it back to its roots place like Paris, London, Rome, Venice, and Athens,.
