Project-based learning is embedded in our curriculum. Students are able to explore the community and make real-world connections to what they are learning.
Lower School
In grades K-3, students may take day trips to explore a California mission, visit the San Diego Zoo, a trip to the Ocean Institute, or an interactive visit to the Birch Aquarium. As a culminating lower school academic and character building experience, fifth grade students spend a week exploring Native American historic sites in New Mexico.
Middle School
Throughout the year, middle school students may take day trips to places that coincide with their studies, such as the San Elijo Lagoon, the Getty Villa, local museums and more. Our sixth grade students visit AstroCamp in Idyllwild for 3 days as part of their astronomy studies. Seventh grade students explore Catalina Island for a week to attend the Catalina Island Marine Institute. Eighth grade students spend a week visiting historic landmarks in Washington D.C.
