Class Excursions
Class excursions (i.e. field trips) give students hands-on experiences where they can apply their classroom knowledge to the real word.
Field trips are fun and academic! They ignite students' curiosity, promote social and emotional growth, and create lasting memories that shape young minds for years to come.
At L'Etoile du Nord, each grade level PreK-5 takes part in field trips throughout the year to give students new experiences, new knowledge, and new perspectives. Some trips are nearby in the neighborhood, others require bus rides and overnight stays.
