Class Trips
Students in our Upper School have two travel opportunities available to them. First, the capstone experience for our 8th grade class is a trip to Washington, D.C. This trip marks the end of their year studying U.S. History, and is full of fun experiences including bike tours, museums, live theater, and visits to various monuments. The capstone experience for our graduating seniors is a trip to Europe, which is certainly the highlight of our School of Rhetoric. As students in a classical school, the opportunity to see history come alive.
