Class Trips
8th Grade to Philadelphia- Oct.8-11, 2022
Our 8th graders will enjoy an amazing trip taking them to Independence Hall, the site of the Constitutional Congress and the signing of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, and to the Liberty Bell. They will travel through history to find themselves right in the middle of the battlefield in Gettysburg, PA! On this trip, they will learn, and touch, more of the history they hear in the classroom. We will also take a trip over to Lancaster, PA to experience Amish Country and the precious people to still live a truly austere life. A truly remarkable trip into history!
9th Grade to Boston- Oct. 8-12, 2022
Our 9th graders will ride The Freedom Trail! And so much more! Not only do we travel through the city run by the Sons of Liberty (remember the Boston Tea Party and the midnight ride of Paul Revere?) Activities planned for Boston include JFK Presidential Library, Whale Watching, New England Aquarium, Quincy Market, Lexington and Concord, Boston Tea Party Museum, Salem, MA, Plymouth Rock, Boston Trolley Tour, Mike’s Cannoli’s, a visit to Harvard Yard, and eating some truly fantastic New England fare.
10th Grade to Washington, DC- Jan. 1-5, 2023
From the Capitol Building to the Lincoln Memorial and all points in between, on our 10th grade trip to DC our students will visit REAL. The USA. HISTORY. We will visit the Constitution, the Smithsonian Museums, the National Mall, Ford’s Theater, National Harbor, the White House or Capital Building, The Library of Congress, all the memorials (at night!), the Holocaust Museum, the Museum of the Bible, and many other wonderful places.
11th Grade to New York, Feb. 17-21, 2023
Our trip to New York is a student favorite for many of our seniors and juniors. On our trip to NY, we take in all the sights! We visit Central Park, take in a Broadway Show, tour Manhattan, visit Lady Liberty, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the 9/11 Museum, and many other sites that New York City provides. Another fun highlight for our students is ice skating in Central Park and touring NBC Studios. These trips are a learning opportunity for our students but also allow the kids to make memories for a lifetime.
Seniors Trip to New York, Mar. 22-26, 2023
We allow our student’s input into this once-in-a-lifetime trip. This year our seniors will be going to San Antonio! Activities will include Six Flags, Sea World, Natural Bridge Caverns, Riverwalk Boat Ride, Alamo, wonderful meals together plus other much more!
EUROPE! June 5-14, 2023 (Date may adjust a couple of days back or forward)
Every 2 years we will take a trip to Europe that will include all 10-12th graders and parents and will take place in June of 2023. On this amazing trip, we will travel to and tour London, Paris, Florence, and Rome! Truly an amazing 10-day trip! Signing up for this trip will be on Sunday, Dec. 5 at 3:00 in the CLC at school. This trip will be through EF Educational Tours designed specifically for students. The cost of the trip will be paid monthly until the trip and directly through EF Tours.
Parents note: All of our trips (except Europe) range from $900 to $1500. Included in this fee are flights, buses, all tours, all tickets, all activities, all breakfasts, some lunches and dinners, all transfers, and tips. Beginning with the 2021 trips we began allowing families to pay for the trips monthly through their FACTS accounts. This allows you to pay for the trip throughout the school year.
