All Saints Episcopal School is committed to environmental and experiential education. Each year students will travel to museums and other sites that enhance the classroom curriculum. Beginning in fifth grade, students participate in outdoor experiences, some of which may span several days. The goal of these activities is to foster an appreciation and respect for our environment, as well as challenge individuals physically and mentally. These experiences provide a wonderful opportunity to explore an individual’s responsibility to the group, work on communication skills, offer opportunities for leadership, and instill in each individual a sense of self-reliance and confidence in his or her ability to handle challenge and adversity. All activities will be chaperoned by All Saints Episcopal School teachers and by experts in the field of outdoor education to further enhance our program.
Field Trips are commonly scheduled during the year in every grade. The cost for field trips will be in addition to tuition. Parents/guardians are often invited to help with supervision. It is the policy of the Episcopal Diocese that all chaperones take the Safeguarding God’s Children training. Please, no siblings when chaperoning field trips.
For each trip, permission slips authorizing All Saints Episcopal School to secure emergency medical treatment in the event a parent/guardian cannot be contacted, are sent home with students. These slips must be returned to the school in advance of each trip. Students without signed permission slips will remain at school.
There is a required uniform for all students for field trips.
