Field Trips

“The outing whose aim is neither purely that of personal hygiene
nor that of a practical order, but which makes an experience
live, will make the child conscious of realities”

- Dr. Maria Montessori.

 

Field trips play a vital role in Montessori education by extending learning beyond the classroom and into the real world. Rooted in the philosophy of hands-on, experiential learning, Montessori field trips provide students with meaningful opportunities to explore, observe, and engage with their environment.

Field trips are carefully planned experiences that align with the Kindergarten curriculum and help students make real-world connections. Whether visiting nature preserves, museums, farms, or theatres, these excursions foster curiosity, independence, and a deeper understanding of the world.

If a parent does not wish for a child to participate in a specific field trip, the school will try to find a space in another class for the day. If no space is reasonably available, keeping the child home the day of the trip may be necessary.
