Field trips are an exciting extension of classroom learning, giving preschoolers to middle schoolers opportunities to make meaningful connections between what they are learning and the real world. Whether our youngest students are visiting Foster Field Farm to explore animals up close, or older students are conducting scientific observations during A Day in the Life of the Hudson River, each outing deepens their understanding and connection to the curriculum. From cultural events like performances at NJPAC and the Nimbus’ Nutcracker, to leadership-building experiences at Camp Mason and Camp Speers and through the Montessori Model United Nations (MMUN), these trips enrich a child’s academic and personal growth. 

​​

• Our Middle School students have field trips every month—from exploring mushroom farming and trout hatcheries to meeting with the Mayor in City Hall and going to Manhattan to explore architecture.
   

• Both Middle School and Upper Elementary students attend sleepaway camp to build team spirit and create lasting memories. They also participate in the Montessori Model United Nations to extend their learning outside of the classroom with students from around the world. They are also involved in collecting and analyzing data at the Hudson River for the Day in the Life of the Hudson River and the Billion Oyster Project.
   

• Students from Primary to Lower Elementary also have regular excursions, taking walking field trips to nearby Liberty State Park, a bus trip to the New Jersey Performing Arts Center for performances, visiting a local farm in the fall, and participating in the Day in the Life of the Hudson River event (Lower Elementary). Second graders also visit Ellis Island in the spring to complement their studies in the classroom about early America.
