Field Trips
Throughout the year, students at every grade level take field trips to support their classroom studies. Teachers realize that learning can be greatly enhanced by taking advantage of the myriad resources of the San Francisco Bay Area – arts organizations, museums, cultural centers, local theatre companies, Marin’s natural open spaces, community and social centers and historical sites. Trips are followed up in class with reflective discussions about what students experience and learn.
